The present invention relates to a method by which a base station transmits a reference signal in a wireless communication system supporting a full-dimension antenna, and a device for the same. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: transmitting, to a terminal, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration indicating the number of antenna ports for transmitting a full-dimension antenna association reference signal; transmitting, to the terminal, a CSI-RS for at least one first antenna port among whole antenna ports for the full-dimension antenna; and receiving, from the terminal, channel information on all of the antenna ports on the basis of the at least one first antenna port.
