A transformer balun fabricated in silicon and including a series of alternating metal layers and dielectric layers that define first and second outer conductors that are part of a coaxial structure. Each dielectric layer includes a plurality of conductive vias extending through the dielectric layer to provide electrical contact between opposing metal layers, where a top metal layer forms a top wall of each outer conductor and a bottom metal layer forms a bottom wall of each outer conductor and the other metal layers and the dielectric layers define sidewalls of the outer conductors. Inner conductors extends down both of the first and second outer conductors and a first output line is electrically coupled to a sidewall of the first outer conductor and a second output line is electrically coupled to a sidewall of the second outer conductor.

The invention provides a connector-attached dielectric waveguide that allows the dielectric waveguide to be easily connectable with an opposite component and is capable of forming a connection structure exhibiting low transmission and return losses of a high frequency signal. The connector-attached dielectric waveguide includes a dielectric waveguide and a connector. The dielectric waveguide includes a dielectric waveguide body and a dielectric waveguide end. The dielectric waveguide end has a smaller cross-sectional area than the dielectric waveguide body.

A multi radiator antenna comprising an electrically conductive reflector, at least two radiating elements arranged on said reflector, a feeding network connected to the radiating elements, and a protective cover. The feeding network comprises a plurality of conductors for distributing signals to the radiators. The feeding network has means for adjusting relative phases of said signals in order to adjust a direction of the antenna main lobe of said multi-radiator base station antenna. The means for adjusting is provided with, or is connected to, an indicating portion configured to provide a visual indication of said direction. The protective cover is provided with an at least partially transparent wall portion arranged such that said indicating portion is visible there through.
