Electronic device comprising antenna module with connector for coaxial cable

An electronic device, comprising:

• an antenna module including an antenna array, a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) connected with the antenna array and a first flexible printed circuit board connected with the RFIC;
• a first connector disposed on the first flexible printed circuit board;
• a communication processor disposed on a first printed circuit board;
• a coaxial cable electrically connecting the first flexible printed circuit board and the communication processor through the first connector;
• and
• a second printed circuit board distinct from the first printed circuit board and configured to electrically connect the communication processor and the first flexible printed circuit board;
• wherein the communication processor is configured to:
• provide a data signal to be transmitted to an external electronic device to the RFIC along a first path in the first flexible printed circuit board through the coaxial cable and the first connector, and
• provide a control signal to the RFIC along a second path in the first flexible printed circuit board through the second printed circuit board, the second path being distinct from the first path,
• wherein the data signal provided to the RFIC is up-converted in the RFIC based on the control signal, and
• wherein the up-converted signal is transmitted to the external electronic device through the antenna array.
