Abstract

RF switches are known from the art for selecting an RF signal from a multiple of inputs. For instance a TV-tuner and TV-Front-end can have two or more antenna inputs but are implemented with a relative bad cost performance. The present invention relates to an RF selection switch circuit (). The switch comprises a first switch (), a second switch () with both an RF input port and a common RF output port a control signal circuitry (). In a preferred embodiment the switches comprise pin-diodes. The RF output port comprises two transistors (TT), one of which at a time can put the non-selected switch to a low-impedance level in order to minimize signal leakage the common output port.
