Abstract

A radio frequency circuit includes a first RF switch having a first common port coupled to an input port of the switch circuit and a first pair of branch ports and a second RF switch having a second common port coupled to an output port of the circuit and a second pair of branch ports. The radio frequency circuit further includes an RF propagation network having a first end coupled to a first one of said first pair of branch ports of said first RF switch and a second end coupled to a first one of said second pair of branch ports of said second RF switch. The radio frequency circuit further includes an RF termination having an impedance characteristic corresponding to an impedance characteristic of said first common port and having a first end coupled to a second one of said first pair of branch ports of said first RF switch and a second end coupled to a first reference potential.
