Abstract
A connection device for random connection of a first member of first transmission/reception units with a second number of second transmission/reception units has a switching matrix that includes a third number of controllable micromechanical switching elements that are respectively activatable to establish a connection between one of the first transmission/reception units and one of the second transmission/reception units. A control circuit selectively activates the respective micromechanical switching elements to selectively establish respective connections between the first number of first transmission/reception units and the second number of transmission/reception units.
