Solid-state RF Switches:

Operated by solid-state devices, such as PIN diodes, GaAs FETs, high-speed silicon diodes or hybrid circuits, etc., used to switch high-frequency signals. From single-pole single-throw to single-pole sixteen-throw that can convert a single input into 16 different output states, or more throw configurations. The transfer switch is a double-pole double-throw switch. Such switches have four ports and two possible switch states, enabling the load to be switched between two sources. The main electrical parameters affecting RF switches include isolation, insertion loss, switching time and power handling capacity.
