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

What is claimed is:

1 . A portable communication device comprising:
a housing including a first plate, a second plate, an inner surface of the second plate facing towards an inner surface of the first plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the inner surface of the first plate and the inner surface of the second plate, the side member including a conductive side portion; a metal support member accommodated in the housing, and including a first ground region; a printed circuit board disposed between the metal support member and the second plate, the printed circuit board being spaced apart from the inner surface of the second plate by a first distance and including a second ground region; a first conductive member disposed at least partially between the side member and the metal support member and electrically connecting the conductive side portion with the first ground region, the first conductive member including a connection portion formed in a direction substantially parallel to the printed circuit board and spaced apart from the inner surface of the second plate by a second distance longer than the first distance; and a second conductive member spaced apart from the first conductive member and electrically connecting the conductive side portion with the second ground region.

2 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the side member further includes:
another conductive side portion spaced apart from one end of the conductive side portion; a slit formed between the conductive side portion and the other conductive side portion; and a third conductive member spaced apart from each of the first conductive member and the second conductive member and electrically connecting the other conductive side portion with the first ground region.

3 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive member is formed as a part of the conductive side portion or the metal support member.

4 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the second conductive member includes a clip-shaped connection member disposed on an edge portion of the printed circuit board.

5 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein, when viewed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second plate, the connection portion of the first conductive member is spaced apart from the second conductive member.

6 . The portable communication device claim 1 , wherein the conductive side portion includes:
a first feeding portion located between the first conductive member and a first end of the conductive side portion and configured to transmit or receive a first signal having a first frequency band; and a second feeding portion located between the second conductive member and a second end of the conductive side portion and configured to transmit or receive a second signal having a second frequency band different from the first frequency band.

7 . The portable communication device claim 6 , wherein the first feeding portion is spaced apart from the second plate by a third distance less than the second distance.

8 . The portable communication device claim 6 , wherein the second conductive member and the second feeding portion are spaced apart from the second plate by a substantially same distance as each other.

9 . The portable communication device claim 6 , further comprising:
communication circuitry disposed on the printed circuit board, the communication circuitry configured to: transmit or receive the first signal through the first feeding portion; and transmit or receive the second signal through the second feeding portion.

10 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive member is connected to a first ground region through a first path, and is connected to a second ground region through a second path spaced from the first path by a specific distance.

11 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein a second ground part is integrated with the second conductive member and is formed of a conductive member having a thickness and width of a specific size.

12 . The portable communication device of claim 1 , wherein a third conductive member is interposed between the printed circuit board and the metal support member.

13 . The portable communication device of claim 12 , wherein a fourth connection member is interposed between the third conductive member and the printed circuit board.

14 . A portable communication device comprising:
a housing including a side member forming at least part of a side portion of the portable communication device, the side member including a conductive side portion; a display accommodated in the housing; a metal support member disposed above the display, and including a first ground region; a printed circuit board disposed above the display and spaced apart from a bottom surface of the display by a first distance, and including a second ground region; a first conductive member disposed at least partially between the side member and the metal support member and electrically connecting the conductive side portion with the first ground region, the first conductive member including a connection portion formed in a direction substantially parallel to the printed circuit board and spaced apart from the bottom surface of the display by a second distance different from the first distance; and a second conductive member spaced apart from the first conductive member and electrically connecting the conductive side portion with the second ground region.
