Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device including: first communication circuitry including a first amplifier, second communication circuitry including a second amplifier, a transceiver, a processor, and a power supply. The processor may be configured to: provide, to the first communication circuitry, a first voltage for transmitting a first signal using the power supply in a first time interval, and provide, to the second communication circuitry, a second voltage for transmitting a second signal using the power supply in a second time interval that does not overlap the first time interval.
