ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface facing a first direction, a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side surface surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface;
a touch screen display including a screen exposed through the first surface, wherein the touch screen display includes a conductive plane which is substantially parallel with the first surface;
a printed circuit board positioned between the touch screen display and the second surface and being substantially parallel with the conductive plane;
a wireless communication circuit positioned on the printed circuit board; and
a side member forming at least a portion of the side surface,wherein the side member includes;
a first elongated part that surrounds at least a portion of the conductive plane and is formed of a non-conductive material; and
a second elongated part surrounding at least a portion of the printed circuit board and substantially none of the conductive plane, and extending in parallel with the first elongated part,wherein the second elongated part is formed of a conductive material, and wherein the second elongated part is electrically coupled to the wireless communication circuit.
