Method for receiving satellite signal by adjusting resonant frequency according to medium outside electronic device and electronic device supporting same

A method comprising:

• identifying whether an electronic device is in water using a sensor;
• when the electronic device is not in water, adjusting a resonant frequency of an antenna to a first frequency band specified according to a first permittivity of air in relation to a specified frequency band for receiving satellites signals using a resonant frequency adjustment circuit configured to adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna;
• when the electronic device is in water, adjusting the resonant frequency of the antenna to a second frequency band specified according to a second permittivity of water in relation to the specified second frequency band using the resonant frequency adjustment circuit;
• receiving the satellite signals through the antenna of which the resonant frequency has been adjusted to a frequency band corresponding to one of the first frequency band or the second frequency band using a positioning circuit;
• and
• determining a position of the electronic device primarily on a basis of the received satellite signals using the positioning circuit.

A computer-readable recording medium having programs recorded therein, which are executable in a computer of an electronic device,

• wherein the programs are configured to, when executed by the computer:
• identify whether the electronic device is in water using a sensor,
• when the electronic device is not in water, adjust a resonant frequency of an antenna to a first frequency band specified according to a first permittivity of air in relation to a specified frequency band for receiving satellites signals through a resonant frequency adjustment circuit configured to adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna,
• when the electronic device is in water, adjust the resonant frequency of the antenna to a second frequency band specified according to a second permittivity of water in relation to the specified second frequency band through the resonant frequency adjustment circuit,
• receive the satellite signals through the antenna of which the resonant frequency has been adjusted to a frequency band corresponding to one of the first frequency band or the second frequency band using a positioning circuit, and
• determine a position of the electronic device primarily on a basis of the received satellite signals using the positioning circuit.
