A cell base station includes a first directive antenna array (104) (to form one beam (106) per cell sector) and a second directive antenna array (110) (to form a plurality of narrow (112) beams per cell sector). Location verification modules (132, 134) are further included for operation in connection with each of the first and second directive antenna arrays. To identify and characterize any difference in gain between the first and second directive antenna arrays, mobile station azimuth orientation with respect to the base station is determined and various signal strength and power related measurements and settings are collected from the mobile station and base station. The collected data is then mathematically processed (206, 228, 246) to determine a value indicative of the difference in gain between the first and second directive antenna arrays as a function of the azimuth orientation. |
