Abstract

A single pole multi throw switch comprises a first switching unit, a second switching unit coupled to a common port and comprising a parasitic off state capacitance, and a matching unit. The matching unit may be coupled between the first switching unit and the common port, wherein the matching unit is configured to contribute, in conjunction with the parasitic off state capacitance of the second switching unit, to an impedance match if the first switching unit is active and the second switching unit is inactive.
