What do you want to use this switch for? Its original purpose? Or are you about to rework it to some other kind of switch?
As "You're all idiots" pointed out, it can make sense for all the circuit nodes to be shorted *at DC*. The appropriate tool to measure how much of an RF signal propagates through from one port to another is a VNA. The NanoVNA is a *very* affordable one for hobbyists, should you want to get one.
Basically it sends out a sine wave signal into one port and measures how much bounces back to that port and also how much is received at the other port. You get both the change in amplitude and phase and from that the VNA can calculate all sorts of useful values, such as complex impedance.
