Abstract (en)

A rectangular waveguide rotator device for connecting first and second waveguides, the first and second waveguides being arranged at an angle to each other is disclosed. The rotator device comprises: at least one rotator portion, the at least one rotator portion comprising a passage formed by outer walls comprising two longer walls connected by two shorter end walls; the at least one rotator portion comprising a ridge protruding from each of the longer side walls across a width of the longer side walls, the ridge lying between a first and a further section of the rotator portion; the first and further sections of the rotator portion being configured such that they are at an angle with respect to each other, one section being rotated through an angle with respect to the other.
