An electronic device includes a side surface member, a wireless communication circuit, and a switch circuit. The side surface member includes a first conductive portion coupled to the wireless communication circuit and the switch circuit, a second conductive portion coupled to the switch circuit, and a first non-conductive portion disposed between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion. The switch circuit is controlled to be in at least one of a first state, a second state, and a third state, based on a first frequency of a first operating signal supplied by the wireless communication circuit. The switch circuit is configured to couple the second conductive portion to the wireless communication circuit, in the first state, and to couple the second conductive portion to the first conductive portion, in the second state.

Antenna and electronic device having same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first portion formed of a conductive material, a printed circuit board disposed inside the housing and including a ground, a wireless communication circuit disposed to the printed circuit board and configured to supply power to the first portion of the housing through a feeding path, and a switch circuit. The switch circuit may include a first port connected to a first point of the feeding path, a second port connected to a second point of the first portion, and a third port connected to the ground of the printed circuit board.

Antenna switching method in electronic device, and device therefor

An electronic device including an antenna and a conductive pattern formed around the antenna is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first plate, a second plate facing away from the first plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate, connected to the second plate or integrally formed with the second plate, and including a conductive material, an injection-molding material disposed in the space between the first plate and the second plate in the housing and formed of a non-conductive material, an antenna module including conductive radiators and supported by the injection-molding material, and a conductive pattern disposed on a first surface adjacent to the second plate of the injection-molding material or disposed inside the injection-molding material and disposed adjacent to a part of an edge of the antenna module corresponding to a boundary between the antenna module and the injection-molding material when viewed from the second plate in a direction of the first plate. A partial conductive radiator of the conductive radiators may be disposed to transmit and/or receive a signal through the second plate.

Antenna including conductive pattern and electronic device including antenna

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, an antenna structure including a printed circuit board, a first sub antenna structure including first group antenna elements, a second sub antenna structure including second group antenna elements disposed in a first direction from the first sub antenna structure, a third sub antenna structure including third group antenna elements disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a fourth sub antenna structure including fourth group antenna elements disposed to form a two-dimensional array together with at least some antenna elements of the first group antenna elements, the second group antenna elements, or the third group antenna elements, and a communication circuit that transmits and/or receives a signal having a frequency between 3 GHz and 100 GHz by using at least a part of the first, the second, the third, or the fourth group antenna elements.

Electronic device including antenna module

An electronic device is provided that includes a housing, a first conductive member configured to form a part of the housing, or be partially disposed within the housing, wherein the first conductive member includes a first conductive protrusion disposed toward the inside of the housing, a second conductive member configured to form another part of the housing, wherein the second conductive member includes a portion disposed adjacent to a portion of the first conductive member and a second conductive protrusion disposed toward the inside of the housing, a non-conductive member disposed between the portion of the first conductive member and the portion of the second conductive member, a coupling structure that includes a conductor and is connected between the first conductive protrusion and the second conductive protrusion, and at least one communication circuit electrically connected to the second conductive member.
