ABSTRACT:
A RF switch can be used in a wide frequency range and can be manufactured at a low cost. The RF switch changes a signal passing through a waveguide with a variable device that is switchable between the first state in which the variable device has a high resistance and the second state in which the variable device has a low resistance, depending on the direction in which current flows through the variable device. The RF switch includes a high-frequency transmission circuit including the waveguide and at least one variable device, a driver circuit including at least one variable device, and a signal circuit for changing current supplied to the variable devices of the high-frequency transmission circuit and the driver circuit for switching between the first and second states of the variable devices. The variable devices are disposed such that the variable device of the high-frequency transmission circuit and the variable device of the driver circuit are in different states as viewed from the junction between the drive circuit and the high-frequency transmission circuit.
