There is provided mechanisms for estimating angle of arrival of a radio signal in a radio communications network. A method is performed by a radio transceiver device. The radio transceiver device comprises an antenna array that, by means of analog beamforming, is configured to shift between at least two phase center locations. The method comprises obtaining measurements of the radio signal as received by the antenna array using two mutually different phase center locations. The method comprises estimating the angle of arrival of the radio signal using the measurements as obtained using the two mutually different phase center locations.
