Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, causing a reference antenna element of a first set of antenna elements of a first antenna array to transmit a first signal, determining for each antenna element of a second set of antenna elements of a second antenna array, a receive-related offset, relative to the reference element, based on inter-element propagation delays between the first and second sets of elements, causing each antenna element of the second set of elements to transmit a respective second signal, based on the reference antenna element receiving the respective second signals, calculating a respective transmit-related offset for each antenna element of the second set of antenna elements relative to the reference antenna element based on the inter-element propagation delays, and performing calibration between the first antenna array and the second antenna array based on the respective receive-related and transmit-related offsets. Other embodiments are disclosed.
