Abstract

A filter arrangement for high frequency signals, HF signals, is described. The filter arrangement includes a housing in which there is a cavity that extends in the longitudinal direction of the housing. The waffle-iron arrangement is arranged in the cavity and includes a carrier plate having a plurality of recesses, wherein there is an electrically conductive material arranged in at least some of the recesses, wherein the electrically conductive material in each case forms a pin in the at least some recesses. This structure makes it possible to provide a filter arrangement for very high frequencies, because the structure allows the carrier plate and the pins arranged therein to be provided with very small geometrical dimensions.
