1. A redirecting structure for electromagnetic waves having a wavelength, comprising:
a first reflection passage formed between a first conductive surface of a first conductive element and a first conductive surface of a second conductive element;
at least one antenna structure comprising at least one antenna element and at least one radiation passage extending from the at least one antenna element in a first direction,
wherein the at least one antenna structure is connected to the first reflection passage at a first interface, wherein the first reflection passage extends in a second direction, and wherein the second direction is different from the first direction; and
a first reflective structure associated with an interior of the first reflection passage,
wherein the first reflective structure is arranged at a predetermined distance from the first interface,
and wherein the first reflective structure extends in parallel with a longitudinal extension of the at least one antenna element.
