Abstract

An integrated switch (100) includes a first input port (102), a second input port (112) and an output port (106). The integrated switch (100) comprises a first electronically-tunable integrated capacitor (104) having a control line (108) for selectively coupling the first input port (102) to the output port (106). The switch (100) also includes a second electronically-tunable integrated capacitor (110) having a control line (108) for selectively coupling the second input port (112) to the output port (106).
