  • Publication number: 20100226355
    Abstract: In a first high frequency switch, a current path and a current path are connected in parallel. When a positive voltage is applied to a control terminal, a current flows through a path passing through (Vc2)?(DL)?(DSL1)?(DDI)?(GSL2)?(DL) and a path passing through (Vc2)?(DR)?(DD2)?(DL). In a second high frequency switch, a current path and a current path are connected in parallel. When a positive voltage is applied to a control terminal, a current flows through a first path and a second path. Thus, the transmission signal is switched with a low control voltage and deterioration of insertion loss characteristics or harmonic distortion characteristics is prevented.

  • Patent number: 7787831
    Abstract: A high-frequency switch is constructed by connecting a first diode and a second diode that function as switching elements, inductors, capacitors, and resistors. One end of the resistor is connected between the first diode and the second diode, and the other end of the resistor is connected to the ground. Thus, charges accumulated in the diodes in the ON states are immediately released to ground via the resistor. Accordingly, quick switching from the transmission mode to the reception mode by switching of a control power supply terminal from ON to OFF is achieved.

  • Patent number: 7456703
    Abstract: A high frequency switch includes electrically connected switching elements, such as a first diode, a second diode, inductors, capacitors, and a resistor. A diode having a smaller charge capacity in the ON state is used as the first diode, while a diode having a larger charge capacity in the ON state is used as the second diode. That is, the first and second diodes utilize different part number diodes. A diode part number having a smaller charge capacity is used as the first diode, while a diode part number having a larger charge capacity is used as the second diode. Alternatively, the charge capacity of diodes that belong to the same lot may be measured and classified, so that a smaller charge capacity diode is used as the first diode, while a larger charge capacity diode is used as the second diode.
