ABSTRACT:
A low loss electronic radio frequency (RF) switch (100) for switching RF energy between an antenna port (115), a receiver port (113) and a transmit port (101) used in a two-way radio transceiver. The RF switch includes a first diode (105) connected between the transmit port (101) and the antenna port (115). A first capacitor (103) is connected between the transmit port (101) and a ground potential while an inductor (107) and second capacitor (111) are serially connected between the antenna port (115) and a receive port (113). A second diode (109) is connected between the inductor (107) and the second capacitor (111) and the ground potential. The antenna port (115) is normally connected with the receive port (113) when idle. When direct current is applied to the transmit port (101) the first diode (105) and second diode (109) are biased into a low impedance state connecting the antenna port (115) to the transmit port (101) and isolating the receive port (113) from the antenna port (115).
