RCA 82,327, ABSTRACT, In a radio frequency switch a pair of diodes is, coupled in series with polarities opposed between input and output ports. A shunt diode is coupled between the junction point of the pair of diodes and a point of reference potential. A transistor has its main conduction path coupled between the junction point and the point of reference potential. When the switch is to couple a signal between the input and output ports a control, arrangement applies bias tending to forward bias the pair of diodes, to reverse bias the shunt diode and cut off conduction through the transistor. When the switch is not to couple a signal, the control arrangement applies bias tending to …
