An antenna feed arrangement comprising an antenna port, a waveguide port and a reconfigurable waveguide arrangement connecting the antenna port and the waveguide port. The feed arrangement comprises a fixed part that comprises the waveguide port, the fixed part having a fixed position in the feed arrangement, and a movable part that in turn comprises the antenna port, where the movable part is movable relative the fixed part by means of pairs of variable adjacent surfaces that are adapted to move relative each other. One surface in at least one pair of variable adjacent surfaces comprises a conductive material with a periodic or quasi-periodic structure formed by a number of protruding elements arranged or designed to stop propagation of microwave energy to pass across a gap between the variable adjacent surfaces.
