A switch for selectively providing an input signal to an output terminal. The switch includes a first waveguide terminal, a second waveguide terminal, a reduced-width waveguide connecting the first waveguide terminal to the second waveguide terminal, and at least one switching element spanning the reduced-width waveguide between the first and second waveguide terminals. The reduced-width waveguide is configured to pass a signal from the first waveguide terminal to the second waveguide terminal when the at least one switching element is in a first state and block a signal when the at least one switching element is in a second state. In some embodiments, the switch also includes at least one additional waveguide terminal and the reduced-width waveguide also connects the first waveguide terminal to the at least one additional waveguide terminal.
