    Abstract: An antenna module includes radiating elements including a first element and a second element and a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and exchanges signals with a baseband integrated circuit (BBIC). The RFIC includes a transmission circuit that supplies radio frequency signals to the radiating elements and a reception circuit that receives radio frequency signals from the radiating elements. The RFIC exchanges intermediate frequency signals with the BBIC. A first intermediate frequency signal is used for communication between the transmission circuit and the BBIC.
