Claim 13:
14. A terminal device comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a reference signal via a phased antenna array from a base station;
a controller configured to
switch between multiple receive configurations of the phased antenna array within a reception period of the reference signal, and
skip, based on a signal quality value of a previously received reference signal, selected one or more receive configurations of the multiple receive configurations when switching between the multiple receive configurations;

a transformer configured to convert the reference signal into a frequency domain reference signal; and
a filter circuit configured to apply a corresponding filtering function to the frequency domain reference signal for each respective receive configuration of the multiple receive configurations that is not skipped, to identify a respective power contributed to the reference signal when using the respective receive configuration.
