RF Diplexers and Duplexers are very common RF components in transmitters, receiver, and transceiver circuits for communications, radar, and other sensing applications. As the terms are similar, they are sometimes mistakenly used interchangeably, which isn’t appropriate. Diplexers and Duplexers perform very different functions, though they are located in similar areas in a circuit block diagram. ..

RF Electromechanical Relay Switches, RF electromechanical switches, or RF electromechanical relays are a type of RF switch with mechanical contacts driven by electrically driven actuators. The transmission paths within an Electromechanical relay switch are purely passive, and thus exhibit relatively low loss and high isolation compared to active switch technologies. Due to the low loss ..
