  • High power radio frequency (RF) antenna switch
    Patent number: 10027366
    Abstract: A technology is provided for handling signals with defined power levels that are received at an antenna port. The signals can be received at a first antenna port, wherein the first antenna port is coupled to a plurality of PIN diodes positioned in parallel in between one or more transmission lines with a defined impedance. The defined power levels associated with the signals can be determined to exceed a predetermined threshold. The signals with the defined power levels that exceed the predetermined threshold can be redirected to a second antenna port, wherein the second antenna port is coupled to the plurality of PIN diodes positioned in parallel in between the one or more transmission lines with the defined impedance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 17, 2018
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: William L. Cagle, Toshikazu Tsukii
