Improved form c relay and package using same

The improved reed relay package (224) provides a "pseudo" Form C relay (200) that includes two Form A relays (206a, 206b) with at least one bridge filter element (202) electrically interconnecting the signal outputs (204a, 204b) thereof to reduce stub capacitance and improve RF performance...

Zusammenfassung:The improved reed relay package (224) provides a "pseudo" Form C relay (200) that includes two Form A relays (206a, 206b) with at least one bridge filter element (202) electrically interconnecting the signal outputs (204a, 204b) thereof to reduce stub capacitance and improve RF performance. As a result, the reed relay package (224) can operate at very high frequencies, such as 18 GHz and higher. Also, vias (262) can be provided through the support substrate (228) to simulate a grounded co-planar waveguide and RF shields (254) profiled with cut-outs to better simulate a 50 ohm impedance environinent throughout the path of the signal line.
