A waveguide interface and a method of manufacturing is disclosed. The interface includes a support block that has a printed circuit board. A communication device is coupled to the circuit board. A launch transducer is positioned adjacent to and coupled to the communication device. The launch transducer includes one or more transmission lines in a first portion and at least one antenna element in a second portion. The antenna element radiates millimeter wave frequency signals. An interface plate coupled to the support block has a rectangular slot having predetermined dimensions. A waveguide component is coupled to the interface plate and has a waveguide opening. The first portion of the launch transducer is positioned within the slot such that the slot prevents energy from the transmission line from emitting toward the circuit board or the waveguide opening but allows energy to pass from the antenna element into the waveguide opening.
