Abstract
A method for determining a connection status between an antenna amplifier and an antenna structure includes applying a first diagnostic voltage to a connecting link between the antenna amplifier and the antenna structure, reading out a first voltage value at a measuring point of the connecting link, and comparing the first voltage value with the first diagnostic value. The method includes applying a second diagnostic voltage different from the first diagnostic voltage to the connecting link, reading out a second voltage value at the measuring point, and comparing the second voltage value with the second diagnostic voltage. A faulty connection between the antenna amplifier and the antenna structure is determined if the first voltage value corresponds to the first diagnostic voltage and the second voltage value corresponds to the second diagnostic voltage.
