What Is an Antenna Switch?
An antenna switch is a device that allows the connection of multiple antennas to a single receiver or transmitter, enhancing the system’s versatility.
This device comes in various forms, including coaxial switches, remote switches, and rotary switches, each with its unique specifications to suit different needs.
Its primary benefit is the improvement of receiver sensitivity and range by enabling the connection of several antennas to one receiver. For transmitters, it offers the advantage of power efficiency by allowing multiple transmitters to share a single antenna.
Additionally, antenna switches facilitate the selection of the most suitable antenna for specific operational needs, such as directional signal reception or noise reduction, by allowing the user to choose from multiple connected antennas.
