Abstract

Aspects and embodiments described may provide a reconfigurable antenna apparatus and method of alignment of such a reconfigurable antenna apparatus. The apparatus may comprise antenna apparatus components reconfigurable between: a mode of operation which supports a radio communication beam having a first beamwidth; and a mode of operation which supports a radio communication beam having a second beamwidth. The first beamwidth may be several times the width of the second beamwidth. Aspects and embodiments recognise that such a reconfigurable antenna apparatus may support efficient alignment methods in which a first, coarse, alignment scan may be performed across a broad field of view, and the results of that alignment scan can be used to allow a finer second scan within a reduced field of view determined by the first scan.
