1-20. (canceled)
A wearable electronic device comprising:
- a metal housing configured to be used as an antenna radiator and being electrically connected to a communication circuit, and comprising at least one strap joining portion;
- at least one metal strap comprising a coupling member joined to the strap joining portion;
- a non-conductive member comprising a non-conductive material disposed on a contact surface of the coupling member which is in contact with the strap joining portion;
- a conductive protrusion disposed to be exposed through the non-conductive member and extending from the coupling member;
- a port insulated from the metal housing and exposed to a position of the metal housing corresponding to the conductive protrusion of the coupling member;
- and
- an electrical connecting member configured to electrically connect the port and a ground of a substrate disposed inside the metal housing,
- wherein the metal strap is electrically insulated from the metal housing by the non-conductive member and is grounded to the substrate through the conductive protrusion and the port.
