MEMs switching system

摘要

A MEMS switching system includes a power diverter interposed between a signal source and a bank of MEMS switches. The power diverter has an activated state wherein signal power from the signal source is diverted from the bank of MEMS switches, and a deactivated state wherein signal power from the signal source is not diverted from the bank of MEMS switches. A control signal selects between the activated state and the deactivated state of the power diverter.
