Abstract

A novel wideband high-power single-pole two-throw (SP2T) switch based on gap waveguide technology is presented in this article. The proposed switch has a SP2T structure and consists of three standard WR62 waveguide ports. Due to the advantage of gap waveguide technology, the switch design structure requires no electrical contact between its different parts, and the leakage of the electromagnetic wave is suppressed. The proposed switch has an air gap between its parts. As a result, the sliding part of the switch can be moved freely to change the switch states. Consequently, a low-precision and low-cost fabrication can be utilized. The simulation and measurement of the proposed switch indicate that a 50% operating frequency bandwidth covering the range of 12-20 GHz can be achieved. The switch input return-loss is better than 15 dB within the frequency bandwidth, whereas the insertion loss and isolation levels of the proposed design are above 0.15 dB and better than 65 dB, respectively.
