Method for elimination of antenna angular orientation error in point-to-point communication system

A method for elimination of an antenna angular orientation error in a point-to-point communication system which consists of a first transceiver and a second transceiver having an established connection between them, comprising:

• transmitting modulated radio signals by the first transceiver;
• receiving the signals of the first transceiver and measuring received signal powers by the second transceiver;
• wherein elimination of an angular orientation error of an antenna of the first transceiver is performed via:
• transmitting signals by the first transceiver with successive selection of an antenna radiation pattern used for transmission from a set of patterns comprising at least two patterns with different angular orientations of the pattern maximums;
• receiving and measuring powers by the second transceiver for the signals transmitted by the first transceiver using at least two antenna radiation patterns from the set;
• determining a value and a direction of the antenna angular orientation error of the first transceiver in at least one plane by the first or the second transceiver based on the powers of the signals transmitted by the first transceiver using at least two antenna radiation patterns from the set measured by the second transceiver;
• and
• mechanically rotating the antenna of the first transceiver in at least one plane against the determined direction and by the determined value to eliminate the orientation error;
• and
• wherein elimination of an angular orientation error of an antenna of the second transceiver is performed via:
• transmitting signals by the first transceiver;
• receiving and measuring signal powers by the second transceiver with successive selection of an antenna radiation pattern used for reception from a set of patterns comprising at least two patterns with different angular orientations of the pattern maximums;
• determining a value and a direction of the antenna angular orientation error of the second transceiver in at least one plane by the first or the second transceiver based on the powers of the signals received by the second transceiver using at least two antenna radiation patterns from the set measured by the second transceiver;
• and
• mechanically rotating the antenna of the second transceiver in at least one plane against the determined direction and by the determined value to eliminate the orientation error.
