Abstract
An RF switch for connecting an antenna to a transceiver is described. The RF switch includes a first switchable capacitor arranged between a first terminal and a common terminal and a second switchable capacitor arranged between a second terminal and the common terminal. Each of the first and second switchable capacitors are switchable between a pass state and a blocking state. The capacitance value in the pass state is higher than the capacitance value in the blocking state.
