1. A wireless transceiver for a wireless communication network, the wireless
transceiver having an offset Gregorian antenna arrangement comprising:
a primary reflector dish;
a secondary reflector;
a support body configured to support the primary reflector dish;
a planar array of antenna elements arranged as a feed for transmitting radio frequency signals to the secondary reflector and/or for receiving radio frequency signals from the secondary reflector; and
a conductive support block configured to support the planar array of antenna elements,
wherein the conductive support block is formed as a first end of a feed support member, the feed support member being directly connected, at an end opposite the first end, to the support body,
wherein the support body comprises an aperture having an axis parallel to the direction of a radiofrequency main beam which the Gregorian antenna arrangement is configured to form, the aperture providing a line of sight along the axis, and
wherein the aperture is configured to accept a hollow tube and to hold the hollow tube in alignment with the aperture, whereby to allow visual alignment of the offset Gregorian antenna arrangement with a radio station of the wireless communication network.
