Abstract
A method () for positioning a first and a second radio antenna comprising the steps of configuring (SI) the first antenna to have a main lobe Land configuring () the second antenna to be a directive antenna having a main lobe L. The method also comprising the steps of transmitting (S) a first alignment signal from the first antenna to the second antenna and positioning (S) the second antenna based on the received first alignment signal, as well as reconfiguring (S) the first antenna to be a directive antenna having an antenna main lobe L, the antenna main lobe Lhaving a more narrow main lobe width than the antenna main lobe L. The method provides a systematic approach to finding optimum antenna positions and corresponding main lobe directions which is especially suited for aligning directive radio antennas in NLOS communication scenarios.
