Abstract:
Disclosed is an antenna module, which include a first antenna element, a second antenna element, and a communication module that includes a first transmit path and a first receive path connected with the first antenna element, a second transmit path and a second receive path connected with the second antenna element, and a detection circuit connected with at least a part of the second receive path. The communication module may output a specified signal by using the first transmit path and the first antenna element based at least on obtaining a request for identifying a state of the antenna module from an external device, may obtain the output specified signal by using the second receive path and the second antenna element, may identify an intensity of the obtained specified signal by using the detection circuit, and may determine whether the antenna module is abnormal, based at least on the intensity of the obtained specified signal. Moreover, various embodiment found through the present disclosure are possible.
