Abstract
A method and apparatus for activating PIN diodes. The PIN diodes are formed as a switch around terminals of another device. When the PIN diodes are made conductive, they shunt the terminals of the device, operatively by-passing the device. The PIN diodes are made conductive by RF signals which selectively provide a bias level to the PIN diodes.
