Antenna arrangement and method for operating an antenna arrangement

An arrangement, comprising:

• an antenna arrangement, comprising:
• a first antenna;
• a second antenna;
• wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged substantially in the same plane;
• wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged with respect to one another in such a manner that an intermediate area is defined between the first antenna and the second antenna;
• a controller which is configured to control the first antenna and the second antenna in such a manner that a magnetic field produced in the intermediate area is greater, in terms of magnitude, than the magnetic field generated by the first antenna in the intermediate area and the magnetic field generated by the second antenna in the intermediate area;
• a carrier comprising an electrical circuit and an antenna which is coupled to the electrical circuit and is provides the electrical circuit with energy;
• and
• a holding device for holding the carrier, the holding device being configured to at least one of position or move the carrier relative to the antenna arrangement in such a manner that the antenna of the carrier is supplied with energy substantially using the magnetic field generated in the intermediate area of the antenna arrangement.

• the antenna arrangement comprising:
• a first antenna;
• a second antenna;
• wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged substantially in the same plane;
• wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged with respect to one another in such a manner that an intermediate area is defined between the first antenna and the second antenna;
• a controller which is electrically coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna;
• and
• a carrier comprising an electrical circuit;
• and wherein the first antenna and/or the second antenna is coupled to the electrical circuit to provide the electrical circuit with energy;
• the method comprising:
• controlling the first antenna and the second antenna by the controller in such a manner that a magnetic field produced in the intermediate area is greater, in terms of magnitude, than the magnetic field generated by the first antenna in the intermediate area and the magnetic field generated by the second antenna in the intermediate area.
