Abstract
In various embodiments, an antenna arrangement is provided. The antenna arrangement may include at least one integrated circuit; at least one loop antenna that is coupled to the integrated circuit and that forms a loop antenna region; at least one antenna that is coupled to the integrated circuit and that has a magnet core; wherein at least one portion of the magnet core is arranged above a portion of the loop antenna region; wherein the portion of the magnet core overlaps the portion of the loop antenna region; or wherein the portion of the magnet core does not overlap the portion of the loop antenna region.
