Provided is an electronic device that includes a first housing including a first side facing a first direction, a second side facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a first lateral side surrounding at least part of a space between the first side and the second side, wherein the first lateral side includes a first conductive portion and a first non-conductive portion; a second housing including a third side facing a third direction, a fourth side facing a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, a second lateral side surrounding at least part of a space between the third side and the fourth side and a ground member, wherein the second lateral side includes a second conductive portion and a second non-conductive portion; a flexible display disposed in the first housing and the second housing; a connecting member which connects the first housing and the second housing such that the first housing and the second housing are folded to face each other, wherein when the first housing and the second housing are folded, the first non-conductive portion and the second non-conductive portion abut against each other; at least one wireless communication circuit electrically connected to the first conductive portion; and at least one switching circuit disposed in the second housing, wherein the at least one switching circuit is electrically connected between the second conductive portion and the ground member such that the second conductive portion can be selectively connected to the ground member, and wherein the first lateral side forms at least a part of an exterior of the electronic device.

Antenna and electronic device comprising same

Provided is an electronic device that includes first and second housings, a display, a connecting member connecting the first and second housings, first and second conductive members, and a wireless communication circuit. The first housing includes a first side facing a first direction, a second side facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a first lateral side surrounding at least part of a space between the first side and the second side. The second housing includes a third side facing a third direction, a fourth side facing a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, and a second lateral side surrounding at least part of a space between the third side and the fourth side. The connecting member connects the first and second housings such that folding of the first and second housings results in the first and second lateral sides abutting against each other.

An electronic device with a multi-slot antenna is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing including a first side, a second side facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a first lateral side surrounded by a portion of a space between the first and second sides, a second housing including a third side facing in a third direction and a fourth side facing in a fourth direction opposite to the third direction, a first conductive member forming at least a portion of the first lateral side and including a slot, an intermediate plate located inside the first housing and including a portion adjacent to a slot of the first conductive member, wherein the portion comprises or forms an opening facing in the first or second direction, and a wireless communication circuit electrically coupled to a portion of the first conductive member around the slot.

Electronic device with multi-slot antenna

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing a second housing, a first display disposed on the first housing and a second display disposed on the second housing, a connecting member configured to couple the first housing to the second housing such that the first housing and the second housing are foldable relative to each other, and the second surface and the fourth surface face each other when the first housing and the second housing are folded toward each other, a first conductive element disposed within the first housing and between the second surface and the first display, and an intermediate conductive plate disposed within the second housing and between the fourth surface and the second display, the intermediate conductive plate having an opening that faces the first conductive element when the first housing and the second housing are in a folded configuration.

Antenna device and electronic device including the same

Disclosed are an antenna device and an electronic device that includes the antenna device. The antenna device includes a power feeding unit, a ground unit, a radiating unit that is electrically connected to the power feeding unit, and a switching element that selects one or more points from a plurality of different points of the ground unit and connects the radiating unit to the selected one or more points.

Antenna device and electronic device having the same

An antenna apparatus for a portable terminal which is light, thin, compact, and small. The antenna apparatus preferably includes a main board equipped with a power feeding part for feeding power and a ground surface for grounding the main board and at least one sub-board, each sub-board which has a ground surface and electrically communicates with the main board, wherein the ground surface of each sub-board receives power from the power feeding part of the main board and resonates.
