Abstract

An electronic device and a method for performing beam searching by using a multi-polarization array antenna are provided. To this end the electronic device controls one or a plurality of antenna modules to operate such that at least two antenna elements among the plurality of antenna elements use beams having different directions at a specific time period, and control the at least two antenna elements to receive, in a corresponding beam direction, reference signals having a unique polarization characteristic supported by the at least two antenna elements.
