Abstract
Methods and devices for antenna switching are provided. A wireless signal is transmitted and received through a specific antenna module among a plurality of antenna modules. Status information about each of one or more other antenna modules among the plurality of antenna modules is acquired, when a temperature of the specific antenna module exceeds a predetermined value. The temperature of the specific antenna module is measured through a respective sensor module of a plurality of sensor modules. Each sensor module of the plurality of sensor modules is contained in or disposed adjacent to a respective antenna module of the plurality of antenna modules. The specific antenna module is switched to an antenna module selected from among the one or more other antenna modules, based on the acquired status information.
