Electronic device having loop antenna
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a housing having a first surface facing a first direction, a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side member enclosing at least a portion of a space between the first surface and the second surface;
a conductive pattern disposed in the housing and having a first conductive coil with an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction or the second direction;
a communication circuit disposedin the housing, electrically connected with the first conductive coil, and configured to cause the first conductive coil to generate a magnetic flux;
a display exposed through at least a portion of the first surface; and
a processor disposed in the housing and electrically connected with the communication circuit and the display,wherein the second surface comprises a first region made of a conductive material and a second region made of a nonconductive material,wherein the first region comprises one or more openings,wherein the second region fills a first opening of the one or more openings,wherein, when viewed from the second surface, the first conductive coil is disposed mostly under the first region, andwherein the first conductive coil is configured to include a first section disposed near or on the second region to cause the magnetic flux to pass through the second region.

Abstract
An electronic device is provided that includes a housing having a first surface facing a first direction, and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction. The electronic device also includes a conductive pattern having a first conductive coil with an axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction or the second direction. The electronic device additionally includes a communication circuit configured to cause the first conductive coil to generate a magnetic flux. The second surface includes a first region made of a conductive material and a second region made of a nonconductive material. When viewed from the second surface, the first conductive coil is disposed mostly under the first region. The first conductive coil is configured to include a first section disposed near or on the second region to cause the magnetic flux to pass through the second region.
