1. A waveguide, comprising:
a conductive member;
a first plurality of posts arranged in a first row on the conductive member;
a second plurality of posts arranged in a second row on the conductive member so as to define a waveguide between the first plurality of posts and the second plurality of posts;
one or more platforms configured to project at least a subset of the first plurality of posts and the second plurality of posts beyond at least a portion of the conductive member adjacent to the one or more platforms, wherein at least one of the one or more platforms projects a plurality of posts beyond the at least a portion of the conductive member; and
a cover coupled to the conductive member such that the first and second pluralities of posts extend between the conductive member and the cover.
