A method of determining an orientation of a phased array antenna that involves positioning a communication device in front of the phased array antenna; with the phased array antenna, sequentially generating each beam pattern of a library of multiple beam patterns; for each of the sequentially generated beam patterns from the library of multiple beam patterns, measuring a received signal parameter, wherein the received signal parameters for the library of multiple transmit beam patterns form a measured received signal vector for the phased array antenna; and determining the orientation of the phased array antenna by comparing the measured received signal vector for the phased array antenna to each of a plurality of calculated received signal vectors.
