An SPNT switch has at least two operating states and comprises N circuit branches. Each circuit branch comprises a first input/output port connected to a second input/output port via a series active device, and a phase shifting component connected in series with a shunt active device. When the shunt active device is in an on state, the reflection co-efficient due to a path to ground from the series active device via the phase shifting component and the shunt active device is +1. At least one DC terminal controls the state of the active devices, whereby in one of the operating states of the switch, both active devices are in the on state simultaneously, and in another of the operating states, both active devices are in an off state simultaneously.
