Abstract
An example electronic device may include a memory; a processor; a communication circuit; an input/output expander (I/O expander); and an array antenna. The processor may control to store an input/output table in the memory and to radiate an RF signal through the array antenna based on the input/output table.
Claims15
An electronic device comprising:
- memory;
- at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
- a communication circuit;
- an input/output (I/O) expander;
- and
- an array antenna,
- wherein the I/O expander comprises a plurality of dividers and a plurality of couplers cross-arranged in a chain structure, and
- the memory stores an I/O table and the at least one processor is configured to control the electronic device to radiate an RF signal through the array antenna via the I/O expander based on the I/O table.
