Abstract

A waveguide switch selectively connects at least one coaxial input line with at least one of two output lines of which at least one is a coaxial line. The waveguide switch includes a rotor having at least one rectangular waveguide passage which has a height which is relatively small, as well as a housing for rotatably supporting the rotor. The housing has a plurality of waveguide sections, each of the waveguide sections have substantially the same cross-sectional dimensions, and which are connectable with one another by the waveguide passage in the rotor by rotation of the rotor. At least one of the plurality of waveguide sections has an adapter for connection to at least one of the coaxial input line and at least one of the two output lines.
