Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a cover glass, a rear cover which faces away from the cover glass, and a plurality of communication devices that are interposed between the cover glass and the rear cover. Each of the plurality of communication devices comprises a printed circuit board (PCB), an antenna array positioned at the PCB, a dielectric substance positioned on one surface of the antenna array, a conductor positioned on an opposite surface of the antenna array, and a communication circuit electrically connected with the antenna array. The communication circuit is configured to feed the antenna array and transmit/receive a signal in a specified frequency band based on an electrical path formed through the antenna array.

An electronic device comprising:
- a cover glass;
- a rear cover facing away from the cover glass;
- and
- a plurality of communication devices interposed between the cover glass and the rear cover,
- wherein each of the plurality of communication devices comprises:
- a printed circuit board (PCB),
- an antenna array positioned at the PCB,
