A high density electronic switching matrix (ESM) includes several splitting modules ( ) arranged along a first axis, each including a signal input ( ) and several splitter outputs ( ). The ESM ( ) further includes several switching modules ( ) arranged along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. Each switching module ( ) includes switching inputs ( ) coupled individually to an output of each of the splitting modules ( ). The ESM ( ) is further characterized by couplings between the splitter modules and the switching modules. The couplings are formed by mating male and female connectors ( ) integrated into the splitting modules and the switching modules. The couplings support extremely high frequency operation. The splitting modules ( ) and the switching modules ( ) may thus be coupled closely together to form a dense, high frequency, switching matrix, and may be stacked upon one another.
