Embodiments of the invention include waveguide switch rotors, stators, waveguide switch housings and meander clamping mechanisms. In particular, the waveguide switch rotor design employs isolation posts surrounding waveguide ports disposed on the external face of the rotor to achieve an artificial magnetic boundary condition to achieve high isolation with improved gap from rotor to stator. 1. A waveguide switch rotor , comprising:a cylindrical rotor face extending between a rotor top and a rotor bottom with an axis of rotation passing through the rotor top and the rotor bottom;a first pair of waveguide ports disposed onto the cylindrical rotor face defining a first waveguide path passing into and out of the rotor face; anda lattice of evenly-spaced isolation posts extending from the cylindrical rotor face and surrounding the pair of waveguide ports.2. The waveguide switch rotor according to claim 1 , further comprising a second pair of waveguide ports disposed onto the cylindrical rotor face defining a second waveguide path passing into and out of the rotor face claim 1 , wherein the second waveguide path does not intersect the first waveguide path.3. The waveguide switch rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first waveguide path comprises at least one of the following: waveguide claim 1 , resonant cavity claim 1 , filter claim 1 , diplexer claim 1 , hybrid coupler claim 1 , limiter claim 1 , circulator claim 1 , combiner and divider.4. The waveguide switch rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the each of the isolation posts has a height claim 1 , h claim 1 , a cross-section of a square and four exposed vertices surrounding a top face.5. The waveguide switch rotor according to claim 4 , wherein the lattice of evenly-spaced isolation posts are distributed in longitudinal rows running parallel to the axis of rotation claim 4 , adjacent posts in each of the longitudinal rows spaced apart longitudinally by a distance claim 4 , 2x claim 4 , measured from center to ...
