Abstract
A power switch including input and output lines of characteristic impedance Z0, and a switching area connected serially between the input and output lines, the switching area being formed by N (integer≥2) parallel conducting branches and i belonging to {1, . . . , N}, each conducting branch having, from input to output lines of the switch, an input line portion with characteristic impedance Zbei in series with a switching circuit in series with an output line portion with characteristic impedance Zbsi, the switching circuit configured, in a first state, to block passage of a signal between the input and output line portions of the conducting branch and, in a second state, to transmit a signal between the input line portion and the output line portion of the conducting branch with a maximum reflection coefficient of 0.316, each of the characteristic impedances Zbei and Zbsi ranging from 0.75*N*Z0 to 1.35*N*Z0.
