1. A system comprising:
a dielectric substrate; and a multi-throw switch supported by the dielectric substrate, the multi-throw switch comprising:
at least one first transmission path;at least one first tunable switching element in each of the at least one first transmission path;a second transmission path; andat least one second tunable switching element in the second transmission path, wherein the multi-throw switch is configured to direct propagation of an electromagnetic signal along the at least one first transmission path when the at least one first switching element passes the electromagnetic signal and the at least one second switching element blocks the electromagnetic signal, and wherein the multi-throw switch is configured to direct the propagation of the electromagnetic signal along the second transmission path when the at least one second switching element passes the electromagnetic signal and the at least one first switching element blocks the electromagnetic signal.
