Ultra-high frequency signal switching matrix having active component switching junctions

Claim 1

A matrix for switching ultra-high frequency electrical signals from a first plurality of input channels or rows towards a second plurality of output channels or columns, the transfer of a signal from a respective input channel to a respective output channel being carried out at a switching point, said switching matrix being characterized in that each switching point comprises: a power divider, whose input receives the signal transferred by a respective input channel and which supplies at its output a signal divided into a plurality of equal signals, a controllable switch, controlled by an external signal, which transfers at least one output signal coming from the divider to a power combiner, the combiner transmits the signal transmitted by the switch to a respective output channel, the system constituted by the power divider, the controllable switch and the power combiner being realized by active components of field effect transistor type.
