Abstract
A bilateral, low loss, wide band, concentrator circuit selectively controls the transfer of a signal between one of a plurality of first terminals and a single, second terminal. The balance points of each of a plurality of bilateral current gates connect to one of the first terminals and to the second terminal. A floating power supply and selection switches selectively forward bias one of the bilateral current gates so it operates as a modulator in which the signal to be switched is modulated onto the bias current thereby to form a low-loss, wide-band path between the selected first terminal and the second terminal.
