Abstract
A switchable combiner and/or splitter circuit comprising at least two Wilkinson elements is suggested. The switchable circuit comprises one first terminal and for each Wilkinson element one pair of second terminals associated with the corresponding Wilkinson element. Each Wilkinson element connects the first terminal with the associated pair of second terminals. Each Wilkinson element includes a switchable component enabling selectively activating the associated pair of second terminals. The proposed solution combines a Single-Pole-Double-Through switch and a Wilkinson element and, thus, reduces the chip area required for integrating the circuit.
