Abstract:
A coaxial RF switch optoelectronic indicator comprising a light-emitting diode (LED), a photo sensor, and a shutter assembly wherein the shutter assembly interacts with the soft-iron rocker in the switch and causes the optical path between the LED and photo-sensor to open or close, corresponding to the states (connected or disconnected) of an RF channel in the switch, providing an indicator means to the switch.
Abstract:
An RF switch (104) that is activated by the insertion of a connector. The RF switch (104) can comprise one or more antenna adapters that can be formed by a number of predetermined RF connector types. The RF switch can include a switch housing (204). A first, second, and third coaxial RF connectors (201, 202, 203) can be mounted to the switch housing (204). The first, second, and third coaxial RF connectors (201, 202, 203) can individually have both an inner and outer conductor (205-206; 207-208; 209-210, respectively). An actuator (501) can be movable from a first position to a second position responsive to a mechanical force applied to the third coaxial connector (203). A switch element (512) can be responsive to the actuator (501). When in the first position, the switch element (512) can exclusively form a conductive path between the first and second coaxial RF connectors (201, 202). When the actuator (501) is in the second position, the switch element (512) can exclusively form a conductive path between the first and third coaxial RF connectors (201, 203).
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a connector, which includes a casing; a first signal transmitting unit having a portion protruded from the casing and another portion extended into the casing; a second signal transmitting unit disposed in the casing and electrically coupled to the first signal transmitting unit; a third signal transmitting unit movably installed in the casing and having a portion insulatedly coupled to the second signal transmitting unit. If a portion of the third signal transmitting unit is pushed, the second signal transmitting unit will electrically disconnect the first signal transmitting unit, and another portion of the third signal transmitting unit will electrically connect the second signal transmitting unit.
Abstract:
A high isolation RF switch for launching a selected one of two RF signals into a slabline transmission line structure has a three switch configuration—a pair of input switches coupled to corresponding input ports and a transition switch coupled to an output port via a slabline transmission line. The input switches select one of the input ports for coupling to the transition switch, and the transition switch couples the selected input port from the input switches to the output port. A grounded conductor is situated between the input ports in a cavity of a housing within which the high isolation RF switch is located to provide isolation between the input ports. Additional isolation between the input ports is provided by coupling the non-selected RF signal to ground, either by grounding the non-selected input to the transition switch or the non-selected input port.

Abstract:
A high power switching matrix constructed using stacked housings of common rows and common columns joined together by thimble sections. The switching assembly of the switching matrix is isolated from the housing using insulators provided with rotary bearings in which the switching assembly is mounted. Servicing of the switching matrix and replacement of components parts is accomplished through disassembly of the modular components.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a switch with a rocker, which has an affixed magnet, capable of being reliably opened or closed by a mechanical operation of a magnetized rocker. The present invention comprises of a supporting plate and a plurality of electromagnets occurring a magnetic force when a power is supplied thereto and being disposed in a bottom surface of the supporting plate. Further, the present invention has a rocker made of a magnetic substance, magnetized in order to occur repulsion with the electromagnet and then rotated by a predetermined angle. Furthermore, the present invention at least one magnet for magnetizing the rocker and retaining an inclined state of the rocker by the if occurred attraction with the electromagnet, and being disposed on the rocker. Also, the present invention has a plate spring, to provide a pressure along with the rotation of the rocker, having erect portions on both end portions thereof, in which the erect portions are fixed to the rocker, and a contact means to contact with connectors by the pressure of the plate spring.

Abstract:
C-, T- and S-switches have a connector or reed in each conducting path. The connector or reed contains a support for a permanent magnet. All of the magnets of the connectors have the same polarity. The connectors, supports and permanent reed magnets in the supports are contained within an RF cavity housing, which can be completely sealed from an actuator or, alternatively, the housing can be open to the actuator. The actuator has a circular shape and contains permanent magnets that correspond in their configuration to the reed magnets of the housing. At least two magnets of the actuator have different polarities. The actuator can be rotated by a motor to two or more positions. In one position, one or more of the reed magnets are attracted and one or more of the reed magnets are repelled. The switch is designed so that when a reed magnet is attracted, the conducting path in which the connector is located is interrupted and when a reed magnet is repelled, the conducting path is connected. Previous switches are more expensive to manufacture and more complex, thereby increasing the likelihood of premature failure. Previous switches do not have a housing that is completely sealed from an actuator.
Abstract:
In a coaxial antenna selector having a plurality of input lines and a plurality of output lines, a reduction in switching and control expenditure and in the crosstalk sensitivity is achieved due to the fact that each of the lines is associated with a coaxial moving link element which allows a direct connection to be established between an arbitrary transmitter and an arbitrary antenna.In the simplest case, the link elements are constructed as telescopically extendable extensions of the input and output lines.
