Abstract
An electronic device according to certain embodiments may include a housing, an antenna disposed in the housing or formed in a part of the housing, a grip sensor configured to sense an external object that is in contact or proximity, and a processor operatively connected to the antenna and the grip sensor, wherein the processor may be configured to, when a first sensing value from the grip sensor is less than or equal to a first reference value, determine an output power of the antenna to be a first intensity; when the first sensing value exceeds the first reference value and a second sensing value from the grip sensor received after the first sensing value is between the first reference value and a second reference value higher than the first sensing value, determine whether the electronic device is in a state of use, and when the electronic device is not in the state of use, determine, based on a third reference value and a third sensing value of the grip sensor received after the second sensing value, the output power of the antenna to be the first intensity or a second intensity lower than the first intensity.
