Abstract

An arrangement (100) for interconnection of waveguide structures (10,20) or components comprising a number of waveguide flange adapter elements (100) having a surface of a conductive material with a periodic or quasi-periodic structure (15) formed by a number of protruding elements (115) arranged or designed to allow waves to pass across a gap between a surface around a waveguide opening (3) to another waveguide opening in a desired direction or waveguide paths, at least in an intended frequency band of operation, and to stop propagation of waves in the gap in other directions.
