According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise: a housing including a front surface facing a first direction, a rear surface facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side structure including a side surface at least partially surrounding a space between the front surface and the rear surface, a coaxial cable at least partially disposed in the housing, a fixing member comprising a conductive material having electrical conductivity and disposed in the housing surrounding at least a portion of the coaxial cable, and an electrical/electronic component disposed in the housing and including a body portion at least partially disposed in the housing and a flexible printed circuit board extending from the body portion. The fixing member may be configured to electrically connect the coaxial cable and the flexible printed circuit board with the housing.

Electronic device including conductive fixing member

An electronic device and a method performed by an electronic device are provided. A number of frequency bands of a plurality of carriers to be used in a plurality of communication circuits for communication is determined. The plurality of communication circuits process carrier signals in different frequency bands. A switching operation, performed by at least one switch, is controlled based on the number of frequency bands and a specified condition that is based on frequency bands able to be processed by an LNA included in each of the plurality of communication circuits. The carrier signals of the plurality of carriers is processed using at least one communication circuit. The at least one switch is alternately connected to two communication circuits and is configured to provide a reception carrier signal from at least one antenna to one of the two communication circuits based on a switching operation.

Electronic device for performing carrier aggregation using plurality of carrier frequencies via switch and operating method thereof

An electronic device and method for supporting carrier aggregation are provided. An electronic device may include a communication circuit including a plurality of local oscillators; and a processor configured to determine an operation mode of at least one local oscillator among the plurality of oscillators based on at least one of a number of uplink carriers and a number of downlink carriers; and control the at least one local oscillator to operate based on the determined operation mode.
