  • Broadband miniature transfer switch matrix
    Patent number: 5510757
    Abstract: Broadband, monolithic, planar m.times.m and m.times.n transfer switches with diode switching elements are disclosed. Symmetry of the switches maintain equal insertion amplitude and phase performance. Compensation of phase unbalance caused by diode parasitic capacitance is provided by inductors serially coupled between the diodes and the input and output terminals of the transfer switch. Stripline transmission lines are utilized and isolation between the transmission lines is provide in regions of stripline cross over in the plane.
