A radio frequency switching apparatus wherein a filter for a transmitter module
passes a transmission frequency to an antenna in a transmission mode and isolates
the antenna and the transmitter module from each other in a reception mode. The
radio frequency switching apparatus comprises a filter connected between the transmitter
module and the antenna for passing a transmitted signal from the transmitter module
to the antenna in the transmission mode. The filter also acts to cut off a reception
frequency in the reception mode. The switching apparatus further comprises a first
switching device for isolating the transmitter module and the antenna from each
other in the reception mode, and a second switching device for isolating the antenna
and a receiver module from each other in the transmission mode. No separate
wavelength strip line is required, making the circuitry of the switching apparatus
simpler and, thus, the size thereof smaller.
