A communication apparatus having a monitoring function for a coupling state of a connector and/or a method of controlling the communication apparatus are provided. According to various example embodiments, a communication device may include an RF connector portion detachably coupled with a cable connector portion of one end of a cable for transmitting an antenna signal, at least one capacitor disposed near the RF connector portion, and a controller (comprising circuitry) for monitoring a coupling state between the cable connector portion and the RF connector portion based on a capacitance of the at least one capacitor.

Communication apparatus having monitoring function for coupling state of connector and method of controlling the same

A communication device insertable into an external electronic device is provided. The communication device includes a converter circuit, a power line, a first conductor connected to the power line, and at least one second conductor electrically disconnected from the first conductor and connected to a ground, the first conductor being electrically connected to the at least one second conductor by fastening between the communication device and the external electronic device, a signal line, and a control circuit connected to the power line, the first conductor, and the signal line, wherein the control circuit is configured to receive a first signal from a processor of the external electronic device through the signal line, receive a second signal generated based on a discharging of a power flowing along the power line to the ground through the at least one second conductor when the first conductor is electrically connected to the at least one second conductor, and output, based on the first signal and the second signal, a control signal to the converter circuit for controlling the converter circuit.

Insertable electronic device and method for the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a connector into which a first communication device can be inserted, a second communication device, a memory, and at least one processor, and the at least one processor may be configured to perform control such that first power is transferred to the first communication device connected through the connector, transmit and/or receive first data to and/or from a network by a use of the first communication device, obtain information related to an operation of the first communication device from the first communication device to store the obtained information related to the operation in the memory, and refrain from transferring the first power to the first communication device, transmit and/or receive second data by a use of the second communication device, refrain from using the second communication device, perform control such that second power is transferred to the first communication device, and transfer the obtained information related to the operation, stored in the memory, to the first communication device through the connector.

Electronic device including a structure in which an insertable device is insertable and method for operating the same
