An aircraft engine pylon includes two side panels and an upper stringer and a lower stringer assembled to form a strut assembly extending in a longitudinal direction (AX) corresponding to the direction in which the aircraft is moving and an internal reinforcement structure including a plurality of reinforcements. The pylon also includes a reinforcement zone on each side panel and a front housing to receive a main front center reinforcement and a rear housing to receive a main rear center reinforcement.

A redundant transition device between a waveguide () and at least two redundant processing circuits () includes two uncoupled coplanar lines () formed one on either side of a single substrate plate () and extending, in part at least, into the waveguide (). Each coplanar line () has a longitudinal end () for connection to one () of the processing circuits, and a longitudinal transfer end (), adapted to channel an electromagnetic wave between the waveguide and the slots () of the coplanar line. Each coplanar line () is provided with a phase shifting element (), for inverting the phase of an electric field on one side of the central transmission strip () of the coplanar line.
