1. An apparatus for controlling a phased array antenna, the apparatus comprising:
- the phased array antenna where a first sub array comprising a first plurality of antenna elements and a second sub array comprising a second plurality of antennas are disposed, configured to receive a signal through the first sub array and the second sub array; and
a controller configured to control a beam orientation of the phased array antenna based on a first channel value for the first sub array and a second channel value for the second sub array, which are estimated from the signal.

Abstract
An orientation control apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The orientation control apparatus for controlling orientation of a phased array antenna includes the phased array antenna and an orientation controller. In the phased array antenna, a plurality of antenna elements are disposed on a plane. The phased array antenna receives a signal transmitted from at least one transmitter. The orientation controller controls orientation of the phased array antenna based on a channel estimated result of each sub array where the plurality of antenna elements have been grouped in the phased array antenna.
