ABSTRACT:
A switch matrix including a plurality of microstrip pairs arranged to form a grid and switches to couple the microstrip pairs where they cross. Each microstrip pair includes a first microstrip and a second microstrip for passing signals. The signals on the first and second microstrips are such that the electromagnetic forces produced by each one are canceled out by the other. By canceling out the electromagnetic forces, undesirable coupling between microstrips that cross and between microstrips and the substrate are minimized, thereby allowing inexpensive substrates such as silicon to be used.
