[0002] Radio frequency switch is a common device in radio frequency and wireless transmission system, and has important application in basic scientific research, nuclear physics, military, agriculture, medical treatment, communication, electronic countermeasure, broadcasting and television and the like. Its main function is to complete the switching of microwave signal or microwave power transmission path. A plurality of radio frequency switches can constitute a switching matrix, and the switching operation and control of the plurality of radio frequency switches can realize the switching function of the switching matrix. According to needs, the switching matrix can contain a plurality of radio frequency switches, and the matrix can realize very responsible switching connection function.
[0003] Radio frequency switching switch includes various structural modes, and common ones are mechanical switching switch, diode switch and relay switch. Radio frequency switches of different structures have respective characteristics and can be applied in different radio frequency systems. The switching speed of diode switch and relay switch is faster, and the switching time can reach dozens of microseconds or even shorter, but the high-frequency power capacity of the two structural switches is limited, and the high-frequency power capacity of relay switch is generally several kW, and the maximum power that can be borne by diode switch is only dozens of W. Compared with diode switch and relay switch, the switching speed of mechanical switching switch is slower, and the time for completing one switching is generally in the range of hundreds of milliseconds to tens of seconds, but the mechanical switching switch has greater high-frequency power capacity, and the power level of radio frequency mechanical switching switch can reach hundreds of kilowatts or even megawatts according to needs. According to different interface specifications, radio frequency mechanical switching switch can be divided into coaxial switch, waveguide switch and other radio frequency mechanical switches.
[0004] If the most traditional double-pole double-throw coaxial switch is used to constitute the switching matrix of the above function, 12 coaxial switches are needed to be connected with each other in the whole matrix.

The switching matrix realized by the technical scheme has the problems of large number of coaxial switches, large volume of the whole matrix, heavy weight and difficult maintenance.
