An electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board, a first electronic component, a first conductive plate, and a first antenna. The housing includes a support member and a side frame surrounding a periphery of the support member. The support member includes a first conductive area. The circuit board is disposed on a surface of the support member and includes a feeding point on a surface of the circuit board. The first electronic component is disposed on the surface of the support member. The first conductive plate is disposed on a surface of the first electronic component. The first conductive area is disposed between the first electronic component and the side frame. The first antenna includes a first radiator, a first feeding part, and a first signal terminal. At least a portion of the first electronic component is disposed between the first conductive area and the circuit board.

Electronic device including antenna

An electronic device comprises a speaker module which includes a speaker unit and a first speaker housing that is coupled to the speaker unit in a first direction. The first speaker housing accommodates the speaker unit, and is arranged in the inner space of the electronic device. An opening for radiating sound allows the inner space of the electronic device to communicate with the outside, and an acoustic passage connects the opening for radiating sound and a portion from which a sound is radiated by the speaker unit of the speaker module. The speaker module can further include an airtight member for sealing a gap between the speaker module and the acoustic passage so that the sound radiated from the speaker unit is transmitted to the acoustic passage.

Speaker module and electronic device including speaker module

Disclosed is an electronic device including: a USB connector connected to a USB plug of an external device; a high-speed interface; a voltage source for supplying a voltage to the high-speed interface; a first circuit portion connected to a ground portion, and has a second impedance higher than a first impedance of the high-speed interface; and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor the external device by using the high-speed interface in a first interval of a first frame, form a disconnection sensing path by forming a connection between the first circuit portion and a second circuit portion of the external device, and use the disconnection sensing path to determine whether the connection between the USB connector and the USB plug has been disconnected. The second circuit portion may have a fourth impedance higher than a third impedance of an external high-speed interface. Various other embodiments are also possible.

Electronic device comprising connector and method for sensing disconnection

Disclosed is an electronic device including a sound output module. The sound output module includes a sound output housing and a motor unit positioned in an inner space and communicating with an inner space of the speaker unit to generate a vibration force. The motor unit may include a motor body forming a volume space communicating with the inner space of the speaker unit and a vibration body positioned in the motor body to generate a vibration force. A communication hole may be formed in an outer wall of the motor body for the inner space of the speaker unit and the volume space to communicate with each other.

Electronic device including audio output module

An electronic device and method for generating an audio signal is provided. According to various example embodiments, an electronic device may include a display configured to depict visual information to the outside of the electronic device. The electronic device further includes an actuator to cause the display to vibrate. A processor is electrically connected to the actuator and the display. The processor applies a pilot signal to the actuator, and detects an amount of vibration of the display caused by applying the pilot signal. The processor sets an environment of the audio signal based on the amount of vibration of the display.
