ABSTRACT:
A radio frequency crosspoint switch module for use in a matrix comprising: a housing adapted to provide grounding; a pair of orthogonally related crosspoint switches disposed within the housing at either end thereof, each crosspoint switch including three movable blade contacts and three sets of fixed contacts, one set of fixed contacts being disposed on, and in contact with, the housing; a pair of coaxial connectors coupled to each of the ends of the housing, each connector having an inner conductor and an outer conductor, each pair of coaxial connectors being disposed on a common axis to be connected in a through connection mode when a respective switch is in a first position, such that two of the movable blade contacts are in contact with the second and third sets of fixed contacts attached to, or forming part of, the inner conductors of the first and second connectors respectively; a third coaxial connector being rotatable, extending between the ends of the housing, and orthogonally related to the two pairs of coaxial connectors, the third coaxial connector being grounded by way of contact of the one set of fixed contacts disposed on the housing with the third of the movable blade contacts, which is affixed to the third coaxial connector, when said crosspoint switches are in their first position; and being connected to one of the other coaxial connectors when the crosspoint switches are in their second, or cross connection, position.
