Abstract
A method for antenna alignment includes defining a first link budget for wireless communication between first and second communication systems via respective first and second antennas in a normal operational mode in which a main lobe of the first antenna points toward the second antenna. The first antenna is aligned to point to the second antenna responsively to an alignment indication provided by communicating between the first and second communication systems in an alignment operational mode having a second link budget greater than the first link budget.
