An improved radio frequency (RF) switch circuit is disclosed. The RF switch is
typically used in a communication system having one or more transmission paths
and one or more reception paths. The RF switch has a first set of diodes connected
in parallel among themselves, and a second set of diodes connected in parallel
among themselves. Each diode of the second set is coupled with at least one predetermined
diode in the first set in a parallel manner by sharing a connection node that is
coupled further with at least one antenna. A transmitter is coupled to the first
set of diodes and the receiver is separately coupled to the second set of diodes,
wherein either one of the first set of diodes or the second set of diodes are activated
to establish one path while cutting off all other paths at the same time.
