Abstract
The disclosure relates to technology for beam searching. Beam searching includes forming an omnidirectional radiation pattern by a group of antenna elements including one antenna element from each of one or more phased array antennas. In response to detection of beams from a transmitter, searching for one antenna element in the group according to a combined signal strength of each antenna element in the group; and enabling a phased array antenna with the one antenna element to align with the beams.
