1. A method, comprising:
receiving at least one signal from at least one transmitter;
determining at least one parameter of the at least one signal;
determining, based on the at least one parameter, which of a plurality of stored differential signal reception radiation patterns the received signal corresponds to, the plurality of stored radiation patterns associated with a direction of arrival; and
aligning an antenna beam to the transmitter based on the direction of arrival associated with the determined stored differential signal reception radiation pattern.
