  • Publication number: 20230223695
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first conductive patch, a second conductive patch, a third conductive patch, and a wireless communication circuit. The first conductive patch includes a first edge facing the second conductive patch, a second edge perpendicularly meeting the first edge at a first corner, a third edge parallel to the first edge, and a fourth edge that is parallel to the second edge and perpendicularly meets the third edge at a second corner. The second conductive patch and the third conductive patch each have a shape identical to that of the first conductive patch. The wireless communication circuit feed power to a first point of the first edge, a second point of a fifth edge of the second conductive patch, and a third point of a sixth edge of the third conductive patch.

  • Publication number: 20230089687
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing providing a front surface and a rear surface, an antenna including a printed circuit board within the housing and including a first surface facing the front surface and a second surface facing the rear surface. The printed circuit board includes a first conductive layer including a first antenna element and a second antenna element that do not overlap each other when viewed from above the first surface, a second conductive layer operating as a ground plane, and a dielectric between the first and second conductive layers. A conductive pattern is located between the front surface and the second surface when the first surface faces the rear surface and is located between the rear surface and the second surface when the first surface faces the front surface. The conductive pattern overlaps a part of the second conductive layer when viewed from above the first surface.
