Abstract:
A mechanical, M-to-N, reciprocating millimeter waveguide switch is provided, where M and N are integers. A mechanical, one-to-four, reciprocating millimeter waveguide switch is also provided, together with a method for switching millimeter waves from one input to one of four outputs is also provided.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for switching millimeter waves from one input to one of four outputs, comprising:\n providing two blocks configured to be reciprocally moved relative to each other, comprising a first transfer block configured to receive an input signal from an input connector to an input opening on an input face and having two output openings on an output face opposite the input face and a second transfer block having four input openings on an input face and four output openings on an output face opposite the input face and configured to transmit an output signal to one of four output connectors, with the output face of the first transfer block and the input face of the second transfer block facing each other and configured to move linearly relative to each other; reciprocally moving at least one of the first transfer block and the second transfer block relative to the other to align one of the two output openings on the first transfer block with one of the four input openings on the second transfer block; introducing a millimeter wave signal to the input connector; and receiving the millimeter wave signal at one of the four output connectors that is associated with one of the output openings of the second transfer block.
