1. A switch assembly, comprising:

  • a housing having a plurality of input ports and an output port;

    a plurality of controllable contacts arranged within the housing to form a multi-pole switch, each contact having an open position and a closed position and being coupled to one of a plurality of input ports of the housing and a common summing junction within the housing of the multi-pole switch, each input port configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal, wherein the output port is coupled to the common summing junction and configured to output a sum signal that includes at least one of the RE signals received at the common summing junction when a contact is in the closed position; and

    an impedance transformation line coupled at a first end to the common summing junction and configured to provide for a predetermined impedance value at a second end.
