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 ..

RF Electromechanical switches are a key active device in many signal chains, including time-domain duplex communications and pulsed radar applications. Such switches can be as simple as a 3-port toggle switch, or single pole double throw, or more complicated as double pull switches or single pole switches with more than 10 poles. A main benefit ..
