Abstract

The disclosure is directed to a method of transmitting a reference signal and related electronic devices using the same. In one of the exemplary embodiments, the method would include not limited to transmitting a reference signal by using a directional antenna emitting a first radiation pattern of one or more beams covering degrees per one of N time slots during a first phase of a full sweeping period, wherein N≥2 and transmitting the reference signal, in response to transmitting the reference signal by using the directional antenna which has the first radiation pattern, by using the directional antenna emitting a second radiation pattern of multiple beams having different angles simultaneously covering a total of degrees of angles per one of M time slots during a second phase of the full sweeping period, wherein N>M≥1.
