What is a T/R RF Switch?

An RF switch, or Radio Frequency switch, is a device to route high frequency signals through transmission paths. RF switches are used in microwave test systems for signal routing between instruments and devices under test. RF switches come in different configurations, therefore offering the flexibility to create complex matrices and automated test systems for several different applications. SPDT switches route signals from one input to two output paths and DPDT switches can be used to switch between two outputs and two inputs as a drop-out switch for signal reversal or in order to bypass a test component. RF transceivers often use a T/R switch to share the use of resources such as an antenna.

Applications for T/R RF Switches:

T/R RF switches can be found in communications, aerospace, defense, aviation, and instrumentation markets. They can be found in ultra low intermodulation, very high power, and extremely low temperature switches for military applications. RF-Switches can also be used for Rx/Tx switching, band select or antenna diversity switching and are used in almost every wireless application including mobile phones, Bluetooth accessories, remote keyless entry, WLAN, WiMAX and GPS navigation systems.

Choosing the Right T/R RF Switch:

When you are looking for the right T/R RF switches, with the FutureElectronics.com parametric search, you can filter the results by various attributes: by Maximum Operating Frequency (1 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3 GHz, 6 GHz,…), Minimum Operating Frequency (0 Hz, 50 MHz, 500 MHZ,…) and RF Switch Type (SP4T, SPDT, T-R) to name a few. You will be able to find the right chip for your RF remote switch, high power t-r switch or other types of t r switches.
