A radio base station node (20) of a telecommunications network comprises a
baseband transmitter (22) and plural radio frequency (RF) paths (24)
between the baseband transmitter (22) and an antenna system (30). A
measurement entity (32) is provided, preferably near the antenna system
(30), for making a measurement or comparison of a time of detecting of a
power modulation for each of plural RF transmission paths (24), e.g., a
time of detecting of a power modulation for a first of the plural RF
transmission paths and a time of detection of a power modulation for a
second of the plural RF transmission paths. A transmission timing
adjustment unit (34) uses the power modulation measurement or comparison
for adjusting timing of transmission of signals for the plural RF
transmission paths for obtaining a desired time alignment for the plural
RF transmission paths.
