Antenna device and method for operating an antenna device
First Claim
1. An antenna device, comprising:
- a controller; and
an antenna array comprising;
at least two transmission devices in first predeterminable positions,at least two receiving devices in second predeterminable positions,wherein the controller is configured to alternately individually excite the at least two transmission devices for transmission in such a way that each of the at least two receiving devices receives a transmitted signal generated by each of the at least two transmission devices,wherein the controller is further configured to excite the at least two transmission devices jointly for transmission at a predeterminable moment, in such a way that each of the at least two receiving devices receives a transmitted signal generated by a single virtual transmission device, andwherein the virtual transmission device is arranged in a predeterminable position which differs from the first predeterminable positions of the at least two transmission devices.

Abstract
An antenna device is disclosed including a control means and at least two transmission means in predeterminable positions and at least two receiving means in predeterminable positions. The control means is set up in such a way that it alternately individually excites the at least two transmission means in transmission, in such a way that each of the at least two receiving means receives a transmitted signal generated by each of the at least two transmission means. The control means is further set up to excite the at least two transmission means jointly in transmission at a predeterminable moment in such a way that each of the at least two receiving means receives a transmission signal generated by a single virtual transmission means.
