Embodiments of the present disclosure use a customizable ganged waveguide that comprises a top metal plate and a bottom metal plate with trenches that come together in a way so as to form waveguide channels. The waveguide assembly of the present invention also comprises a waveguide adapter affixed to a first end of the ganged waveguide and operable to conduct the signal to a tester. Further, it comprises an air barrier affixed to a second end of the ganged waveguide to prevent air from flowing from the ganged waveguide to a printed circuit board connected at the second end. Finally, it comprises a tuning plate comprising double ridge slots configured to allow maximal signal to be transferred to the printed circuit board from the ganged waveguide.
