  • Abstract
    In this paper some characteristics of switch circuits using junction transistors are analyzed. The switch properties result from the large changes in small-signal admittance of one junction of a transistor when the bias polarity of the other junction is reversed. The characteristics analyzed include the small-signal, low-frequency conductance and the associated potentials. The circuits are suitable for low level modulators and commutators.
