Antenna arrangement for transmitting signals
First Claim
1. An antenna arrangement for transmitting signals to and/or from a semiconductor chip, comprising a first sub-arrangement of individual antennas arranged in a first plane spaced from an outer surface of the semiconductor chip, and a second sub-arrangement of individual antennas arranged in one or more other planes, with a plurality of individual antennas arranged in each of said one or more other planes, wherein each antenna is connected to a separate control unit or some of the individual antennas are interconnected in a cluster controlled by a common control unit, and wherein electrical amplitudes and phases of all individual antennas and/or clusters are controlled simultaneously and independently of one another in a dynamic operating mode.
