Abstract:
1. A radio frequency (RF) switch system, comprising: a plurality of switch inputs; a plurality of switch outputs; an RF analog switch matrix comprising a plurality of 2×2 RF analog switching elements configured to selectively couple one or more of the plurality of switch inputs to one or more of the plurality of switch outputs during use to provide one or more paths for routing RF analog signals from one or more of the switch inputs to one or more of the switch outputs during use, wherein the RF analog switch matrix comprises one or more multi-dimensional RF analog switching elements, each comprising a respective plural subset of the plurality of 2×2 RF analog switching elements; wherein the RF analog switch matrix comprises a first topology that defines connectivity of the RF analog switch matrix, wherein at least one of the one or more multi-dimensional RF analog switching elements comprises a second topology that defines connectivity of the at least one multi-dimensional RF analog switching element, and wherein the first topology is topologically distinct from the second topology.
