    Abstract: A method for alignment of a first node with a second node in a wireless communication network. The method comprises directing a first node first antenna beam at a first pointing angle, using a second node antenna beam for scanning a first volume with objects being able to generate signal reflections/diffraction, detecting a first signal property of reflected/diffracted signals; and saving scan angles resulting in said first signal property exceeding a first threshold level. The method further comprises directing the second node antenna beam at said saved angles, and, for each such angle: using a first node second antenna beam for scanning; and detecting at least a second signal property of reflected/diffracted signals; exchanging information between the nodes comprising first node second antenna beam pointing direction angles resulting in said second signal property exceeding a second threshold level and said saved angles; and selecting angles for communication.

    Abstract: An antenna arrangement comprising a SIW with at least one radiating arrangement. The SIW comprises a dielectric material, a first and second metal layer and a first and second electric wall element running essentially parallel and electrically connecting the metal layers. For each radiating arrangement, the antenna arrangement comprises at least one coupling aperture in the first metal layer, and for each coupling aperture there is a third wall element running between the first and second electric wall elements, across a SIW longitudinal extension (es). For each radiating arrangement, the antenna arrangement further comprises an at least partly electrically conducting antenna component which comprises at least four radiating elements and is surface-mounted on the first metal layer, enclosing at least one coupling aperture. For each radiating arrangement, electromagnetic signals are arranged to be transmitted between said coupling aperture and said radiating elements.
