6 Degrees of Microwave and RF/Microwave Switch Separation (.PDF Download)

May 8, 2015

Before electronic control and actuation, mechanically actuated RF switches were used to re-route RF energy to different subsystems. Out of necessity, these switches were often custom, expensive, slow, and prone to failure. But they could handle significant amounts of RF energy...
