Abstract
An electronic device which includes a housing is provided. The housing includes a first surface, a second surface facing away from the first surface, and a side member surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface, a display that is exposed through a substantial portion of the first surface of the housing, a first radiator that forms a portion of the side member, a PCB that is positioned within the housing and includes a ground layer, a communication circuit that is positioned on the PCB, and a conductive pattern having a length corresponding to a length of the first radiator.
Claims16
An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface, a second surface facing away from the first surface, and a side member surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface;
- a display exposed through the first surface of the housing;
- a first radiator forming a portion of the side member;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) positioned within the housing and including a ground layer;
- a communication circuit positioned on the PCB;
- and
- a conductive pattern having a length corresponding to a length of the first radiator,
- wherein a first portion including one end of the conductive pattern is positioned adjacent to the first radiator,
- wherein the other end of the conductive pattern is connected with the ground layer of the PCB to guide a current in the ground layer, so that a path of a current formed at the first radiator and a path of a current formed at the ground layer are formed symmetrically to each other, and
- wherein a rest portion of the conductive pattern except for the first portion is positioned to overlap with the ground layer, when viewed from above the first surface.
