a communication processor (CP) connected to the second connection terminal and disposed on the second circuit board; and
an antenna electrically connected to the CP,
wherein the interposer further has a plating member,
wherein the plating member is formed on an upper surface, a side surface, and a lower surface of the interposer,
wherein the plating member and the via are connected to each other,
wherein the interposer comprises at least two plating members and a plurality of vias,
wherein a first of the at least two plating members is connected to a first via of the plurality of vias and a second of the at least two plating members is connected to a second via of the plurality of vias, and
wherein each of the at least two plating members comprise a ‘ ’ shape.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a third connection terminal electrically connected to the second connection terminal is formed on an upper portion of the second circuit board.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , further comprising a third circuit board having a fourth connection terminal formed thereon and a fifth connection terminal formed thereon and electrically connected to the fourth connection terminal, wherein the fifth connection terminal is electrically connected to the antenna.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , further comprising a connector electrically connecting between the third connection terminal and the fourth connection terminal.

5. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein a battery is disposed between the second circuit board and the third circuit board.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a shield member is disposed on the second surface of the first circuit board.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
