Abstract

An antenna unit includes an antenna having at least two elements for emitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation. The antenna is arranged on a support substrate. Furthermore, the antenna unit includes an electromechanical actuator that is arranged on the support substrate and configured to take a control signal as a basis for mechanically deforming the support substrate along a spatial direction in order to adjust a distance between the at least two elements of the antenna along the spatial direction for the purpose of influencing an antenna parameter of the antenna. The antenna unit also includes a control circuit configured to generate the control signal based on a target value for the antenna parameter.
