1. An apparatus for signal communication, comprising:
a waveguide with an internal channel that includes a plurality of channel segments interconnected at a junction, the waveguide including a first surface and a second surface;
the first surface and the second surface partially forming a peripheral boundary of the internal channel at the junction, the first surface meeting the second surface at a first corner, and the first surface angularly offset from the second surface by an obtuse angle;
the waveguide further including a third surface further forming the peripheral boundary of the internal channel at the junction;
the third surface meeting the second surface at a second corner; and
the second surface angularly offset from the third surface by an angle between sixty four degrees and one hundred and sixteen degrees.
