Appeal No. 2000-1941 Application 08/567,128 Representative claim 2 is reproduced as follows: 2. A high frequency switch having first to fourth ports and enabling connection of each of the first and second ports to either of the third and fourth ports, comprising: a first diode coupled between the first and third ports; a second diode coupled between the first and fourth ports; the first and second diodes each having first and second polarity terminals, the first and second diodes being directly connected to each other at a first common connection, the first common connection being coupled to the first port whereby the first and second diodes are connected so that the same polarity terminal of each of the first and second diodes is coupled to the first port; a first coupling capacitor connected between said first port and said first common connection; a second coupling capacitor connected between said third port and said first diode and a third coupling capacitor connected between said fourth port and said second diode; and further comprising: a third diode coupled between the second and third ports; a fourth diode coupled between the second and fourth ports; the third and fourth diodes each having first and second polarity terminals, the third and fourth diodes being directly connected to each other at a second common connection, the second common connection being connected to the second port whereby the third and fourth diodes are connected so that the same polarity terminal of each of the third and fourth diodes, which is the same polarity terminal as the terminals of the first and second diodes connected to the first port, is connected to the second port, and 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
