Abstract

A three-pole three-throw switch and a communication device employing the three-pole three-throw switch includes six diodes and six inductors. The six diodes are connected in series with a same direction. Common nodes of each two diodes form three poles and three throws. The three poles and the three throws are linked together in circular form. The three poles and the three throws receive control signals via the six inductor, respectively.
