Abstract:
1. A waveguide device for switching microwave signals comprising: a) a waveguide housing comprising of a top element, a bottom element and a septum place in between the top and bottom elements, said top and bottom elements forming an enclosure having input ports and output ports, and said septum dividing said enclosure into an upper and lower channels; b) said septum having a top surface and a bottom surface, said top and bottom surfaces of said septum having multiplicity of ridges, said ridges designed to smoothly guide microwave signals from said input ports to said output ports through said upper and lower channels; c) said housing being made of a conductive material, preferably of metallic material; and d) multiplicity of short circuit means that can short circuit the top and the bottom elements to the ridges on the septum.
