Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a waveguide gasket arrangement (1, 1′, 1″) arranged for electrically sealing a waveguide interface (2) between a first waveguide end (3) and a second waveguide end (4). The waveguide gasket arrangement (1, 1′, 1″) comprises a carrier arrangement (5, 5′, 5″) where a carrier aperture (6; 6a, 6b) is formed in the mounted carrier arrangement (5, 5′, 5″). The waveguide gasket arrangement (1, 1′, 1″) further comprises an electrically conducting flexible ribbon arrangement (7) that comprises at least one plurality of electrically conducting members (8a, 8b) forming a coherent common structure. The ribbon arrangement (7) is mounted to a carrier aperture edge (11; 11a, 11b) that circumvents the carrier aperture (6; 6a, 6b) such that for each plurality of electrically conducting members (8a, 8b), a first plurality of electrically conducting members (8a) is adapted to extend towards the first waveguide end (3) and a second plurality of electrically conducting members (8b) is adapted to extend towards the second waveguide end (4).
