Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus, method, and computer program for antenna beam alignment of a rotatable antenna. The apparatus measures radio frequency (RF) signal strength of one or more sectors with a RF power detector, such as a sensor or measurement antenna. The apparatus determines at least one first sector of the one or more sectors based on the measured RF signal strength of the one or more sectors. Directivity of the RF power detector is lower than directivity of the rotatable antenna.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a RF power detector;
- a rotatable antenna, wherein directivity of the RF power detector is lower than directivity of the rotatable antenna;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- measure radio frequency (RF) signal strength of one or more sectors with the RF power detector;
- determine a first sector of the one or more sectors based on the measured RF signal strength of the one or more sectors;
- and
- perform an antenna rotation-based beam alignment scan for the first sector with the rotatable antenna;
- wherein a sector of the one or more sectors is placed with a sensor of the RF power detector.
