Table 1: Relative Switch Performance and Design Evaluation Matrix
Notes:
 Evaluation based upon following grading : Best = 5 Points, Moderate = 3 Points, Worst = 1 Point. The higher
 Where there is No significant relative advantage, a “ Moderate ” weighting can be used.
Assumptions for SP2T Design:
 Design is a Reflective SP2T.
 (2) Diodes are used per RF port.
 Frequency Bandwidth is 3.0 : 1 maximum.
Conclusions:
The Series-Shunt Design is the Best in terms of Overall Switch Performance and value. Since each Design has
a specific advantage, the decision for a Switch Design Selection is determined by the Specific Design Priorities
for the requirement.
the score, the better the overall relative design advantage.
