Abstract
A dielectrically loaded waveguide switch is disclosed which provides high power handling capability, small size and low weight. The invention includes first and second dielectrically loaded waveguides selectively connected by a switch. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the switch includes a third dielectrically loaded waveguide mounted for communication with said first and second waveguides upon switch actuation.
