A technology is provided for handling signals with defined power levels that are received at an antenna port. The signals can be received at a first antenna port, wherein the first antenna port is coupled to a plurality of PIN diodes positioned in parallel in between one or more transmission lines with a defined impedance. The defined power levels associated with the signals can be determined to exceed a predetermined threshold. The signals with the defined power levels that exceed the predetermined threshold can be redirected to a second antenna port, wherein the second antenna port is coupled to the plurality of PIN diodes positioned in parallel in between the one or more transmission lines with the defined impedance.

High power radio frequency (RF) antenna switch

A dummy structure for a printed wiring board (PWB) includes a unit shape defined on the PWB, the unit shape configured to, based on a visual inspection thereof, provide an indication of one of: etching of a PWB circuit element within a desired tolerance range, over etching of the PWB circuit element, or under etching of the PWB circuit element.
