A method (400) for positioning a first and a second radio antenna comprising the steps of configuring (SI) the first antenna to have a main lobe L1 and configuring (52) the second antenna to be a directive antenna having a main lobe L2. The method also comprising the steps of transmitting (S3) a first alignment signal from the first antenna to the second antenna and positioning (S4) the second antenna based on the received first alignment signal, as well as reconfiguring (S5) the first antenna to be a directive antenna having an antenna main lobe L3, the antenna main lobe L3 having a more narrow main lobe width than the antenna main lobe L1. The method provides a systematic approach to finding optimum antenna positions and corresponding main lobe directions which is especially suited for aligning directive radio antennas in NLOS communication scenarios.
