Antenna module including dielectric material and electronic device including antenna module

An antenna module for a wireless communication system, the antenna module comprising:

• an insulator having a plate shape and comprising a conductive pattern formed thereon;
• a first metal structure and a second metal structure disposed on a top face of the insulator, wherein each of the first and second metal structures comprises a top face, a first feeding unit, and a second feeding unit, the first feeding unit and the second feeding unit are electrically connected to the top face and are disposed such that the top face is spaced apart from the top face of the insulator by a predetermined length, and the top face of each of the first and second metal structures is a rectangular shaped metal plate including a plurality of openings;
• and
• a wireless communication chip configured to supply electric signals to the first and second metal structures through the conductive pattern, wherein the electric signals are supplied to the top face of each of the first and second metal structures by the first and second feeding units and relate to perpendicular polarizations of radio waves radiated by the top face of each of the first and second metal structures, and
• wherein the first feeding unit and the second feeding unit are configured to maintain the top face at a predetermined distance from the top face of the insulator, and
• wherein the antenna module is configured to operate in a massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication environment.
