The results obtained demonstrate the transmission suppression in the vicinity of the neutrality point except for the junction of the ribbons consisting of 3p-1 and 3p+2 dimer lines, p is odd. Unlike other interconnections, this junction is shown to be free of local levels arising at the junction interface and exhibits electron backscattering to be inversely as the square of 2p+1. We also demonstrate that non-zero propagation through a graphene junction can be described by the same relation as that for linear undimerized chain of atoms with one defect bond.
