1. A waveguide switch, comprising:
a stator;
a rotor that comprises:
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; and
a plurality of isolation posts extending from the cylindrical rotor face and surrounding the first pair of waveguide ports;
wherein the plurality of isolation posts do not physically contact the stator.
