Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first plate, a second plate, and a side member, a metal structure of which a part is connected to the side member, and a printed circuit board. The side member includes a first conductive portion, a second conductive portion, a third conductive portion, a first segment formed between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion, and a second segment formed between the first conductive portion and the third conductive portion. The first conductive portion is connected to a first ground part disposed on the printed circuit board through a first path, and is connected to a second ground part disposed on the metal structure through a second path spaced from the first path by a specific distance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a first plate, a second plate facing away from the first plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate, the side member comprising a first conductive portion;
a metal structure comprising a first ground region, wherein a part of the metal structure is connected to the first conductive portion via a conductive connection member extending from the first conductive portion to the metal structure; and
a printed circuit board comprising a second ground region and, when viewed from above the second plate, positioned between the metal structure and the second plate,
wherein the first conductive portion comprises:
the conductive connection member electrically connecting the first conductive portion to the first ground region, and
a first conductive member electrically connecting the first conductive portion to the second ground region, and

wherein, when viewed from above the second plate, the conductive connection member and the first conductive member are spaced apart from each other and the first conductive member is closer to the second plate than the conductive connection member.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 ,
wherein the side member further comprises:
a second conductive portion extending from a first segment,
the first segment formed between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion,
a third conductive portion extending from a second segment, and
the second segment formed between the first conductive portion and the third conductive portion,

wherein the first conductive portion includes:
a first feed part formed between the conductive connection member and the second segment and configured to transmit or receive a first signal having a first frequency band, and
a second feed part formed between the conductive connection member and the first segment and configured to transmit or receive a second signal having a second frequency band adjacent to the first frequency band.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a communication circuit disposed on the printed circuit board, the communication circuit configured to:
transmit and/or receive the first signal through the first feed part, and
transmit and/or receive the second signal through the second feed part.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 ,
wherein the first feed part includes a first connection member connected to the printed circuit board, and
wherein the second feed part includes a second connection member connected to the printed circuit board.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the first conductive portion includes:
the first conductive member connected to the first connection member, and
a second conductive member connected to the second connection member.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the first conductive members and the second conductive member are disposed spaced from the second plate by a first distance.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the conductive connection member is disposed spaced from the second plate by a second distance greater than the first distance.

8. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein, when viewed from above the second plate, the conductive connection member is disposed under the printed circuit board.

9. The electronic device of claim 5 ,
wherein the conductive connection member is integrated with the first conductive portion or the metal structure.

10. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the first connection member and the second connection member are formed of a clip-shaped conductive member.
