High power, high frequency switches include a transmission line having at least three portions that are serially coupled between an input port and an output port to define at least two nodes and to carry a high power, high frequency signal between the input port and the output port. First and second power transistors are provided. At least a third power transistor also is provided. The controlling electrode(s) (gate) of the first, second and/or third power transistor(s) are responsive to a switch control input. The controlled electrodes (source/drain) of a respective one of the first and second power transistors, and of a respective one of the third power transistor(s) are serially coupled between a respective one of the at least two nodes and a reference voltage. The power transistors may be silicon carbide MESFETs.
