This part of IEC 60747 provides new measuring methods, terminology and letter symbols, as
well as essential ratings and characteristics for integrated circuit microwave switches.
There are many combinations for RF ports in switches, such as SPST (single pole single
throw), SPDT (single pole double throw), SP3T (single pole triple throw), DPDT (double pole
double throw), etc. Switches in this standard are based on SPDT. However, this standard is
applicable to the other types of switches.
