Abstract
A waveguide switch for switching between an ON-state and an OFF-state for a waveguide channel, including: a moveable waveguide switch body including: an input opening for receiving an electromagnetic wave, an output opening for releasing an electromagnetic wave, wherein the waveguide switch body further includes a blocking element arranged such that in the ON state, an electromagnetic wave may pass from the input opening to the output opening, and in the OFF state the blocking element substantially impedes an electromagnetic wave traveling from the input opening to the output opening, whereby the switch from the ON state to the OFF state is a rotational or translation movement of the waveguide switch body. Also, a waveguide system employing such a switch and a method of manufacturing such a switch. Contactless switching is provided in a high-frequency system.
