The relevant communication module among these communication modules is either a first network 198 (for example, a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth®, WiFi (wireless fidelity) direct, or IrDA (infrared data association)) or a second network 199 (for example, a legacy cellular network, 5G5 th The communication module can communicate with an external electronic device 104 via a long-range communication network such as a generation network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., LAN or WAN). Many types of such communication modules may be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or each may be embodied in multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 verifies or authenticates the electronic device 101 within a communication network such as the first network 198 or the second network 199 using subscriber information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (SIM) 196. 【0033】 The wireless communication module 192 is 4G (4 thThe 5G network and next-generation communication technologies, such as NR (new radio access) technology, are supported. NR technology supports high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (i.e., eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of many terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module 192 supports high-frequency bands (e.g., mmWave bands) to achieve, for example, high data transmission rates.

Each of the external electronic devices (102 or 104) is of the same or different type as the electronic device 101. All or part of the operations performed by the electronic device 101 are performed by one or more external electronic devices, either the external electronic devices (102, 104) or the server 108. For example, if the electronic device 101 must perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device 101 may, instead of performing the function or service itself, or additionally, request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of that function or service. One or more external electronic devices that receive the request perform at least part of the requested function or service, or additional functions or services related to the request, and communicate the result of the execution to the electronic device 101. The electronic device 101 processes the result as is or additionally and provides it as at least part of the response to the request. For this purpose, technologies such as cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing are used.

The server 108 may be an intelligent server using machine learning and / or a neural network. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the external electronic device 104 or the server 108 is included within the second network 199. The electronic device 101 is applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart cities, smart cars, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies. 【0038】 The electronic devices disclosed herein in various embodiments can take on a variety of forms. These electronic devices include, for example, portable communication devices (e.g., smartphones), computer devices, portable multimedia devices, portable medical devices, cameras, wearable devices, or home appliances. However, the electronic devices are not limited to those described above. 【0039】 The various embodiments of the present invention and the terminology used herein are not limited to any particular embodiment of the technical features described herein. In the description of the drawings, similar or related components are given similar reference numerals. The singular form of a noun corresponding to an item may include one or more items unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, each of the phrases such as “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” “at least one of A or B,” “A, B, or C,” “at least one of A, B, and C,” and “at least one of A, B, or C” includes any one of the items listed together in the applicable phrase, or any possible combination thereof. Terms such as “first,” “second,” or “first” or “second” are used simply to distinguish one component from other such components and do not limit the component in other aspects (e.g., importance or procedure). When one element (e.g., the first component) is referred to as "coupled" or "connected" with or without the terms "functionally" or "communically," it means that the elements are connected to each other directly (e.g., by wire), wirelessly, or via the third component. 【0040】 The term “module” includes units embodied in hardware, software, or firmware, and is used interchangeably with terms such as logic, logic block, component, or circuit. A module is the smallest unit or part thereof of a component that is composed of a whole or performs one or more functions. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a module may be embodied in the form of an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). 【0041】 An embodiment of the present invention may be embodied as software (e.g., program 140) comprising one or more instruction words stored in a storage medium (e.g., internal memory 136 or external memory 138) that can be read by a machine (e.g., electronic device 101). For example, the processor (e.g., processor 120) of the machine (e.g., electronic device 101) invokes and executes at least one of the one or more instruction words stored in the storage medium. This enables the machine to be operated to perform at least one function according to the invoked at least one instruction word. The one or more instruction words include code generated by a compiler or code executed by an interpreter. The storage medium readable by the machine is provided in the form of a non-transitory storage medium, where "non-transitory" simply means that the storage medium is a tangible device and does not contain signals (e.g., electromagnetic waves), and the term does not distinguish between cases where data is stored semi-permanently and cases where it is stored temporarily. 【0042】 A method according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided in a computer program product. The computer program product is traded as a commodity between a seller and a buyer.

The provision of a + voltage to the first metal E1 through the first electrical path EP1 and a - voltage to the second metal E7 through the second electrical path EP2 by the wireless communication circuit 610 is defined or interpreted as "differential feeding". Hereinafter, the provision of a + voltage by the wireless communication circuit 610 will be referred to as "+ feeding", and the provision of a - voltage by the wireless communication circuit 610 will be referred to as "- feeding". 【0182】 According to one embodiment, the combination of the first ground region G1, the second ground region G2, and the fifth electrical path EP5 acts as an antenna ground G, which is of the same potential, when the wireless communication circuit 610 is positively and negatively fed. 【0183】 According to one embodiment, when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, a potential difference provides (or forms) a first current flow corresponding to the first metal E1 and a second current flow corresponding to the seventh metal E7. The first current flow has a first current path (or first loop) L1 (see Figure 7) through which current (or radiated current) flows from the first electrical path EP1 to the third electrical path EP3. The second current flow has a second current path (or second loop) L2 (see Figure 7) through which current (or radiated current) flows from the fourth electrical path EP4 to the second electrical path EP2. The distribution of current (or radiated current) through the first current path L1 forms an electromagnetic field (or magnetic field distribution) 701. The second current path L2 and the current distribution through the second current path L2 form an electromagnetic field (or magnetic field distribution) 702. 【0184】 According to one embodiment, when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, an electromagnetic field 701 including an electromagnetic force passing through a first non-ground region NG1 between the first metal E1 and the first ground region G1, and an electromagnetic field 702 including an electromagnetic force passing through a second non-ground region NG2 between the seventh metal E7 and the second ground region G2 are provided (or formed). 【0185】 According to one embodiment, the wireless communication circuit 610 is configured to transmit and / or receive a signal in a selected or specified frequency band through an electromagnetic field 701 generated in correspondence with a first current path L1 including a first metal E1 and / or an electromagnetic field 702 generated in correspondence with a second current path L2 including a seventh metal E7, when supplying positive power to a first electrical path EP1 and negative power to a second electrical path EP2. 【0186】 According to one embodiment, the wireless communication circuit 610 is configured to transmit and / or receive signals of approximately 13.56 MHz related to NFC through an electromagnetic field 701 generated in correspondence with a first current path L1 including a first metal E1 and / or an electromagnetic field 702 generated in correspondence with a second current path L2 including a seventh metal E7. 【0187】 According to one embodiment, the first rear region of the exterior of the foldable electronic device 2 includes a first region (or first top region) 201, a second region (or first middle region) 202, and a third region (or first lower region) 203. The second region 202 is located between the first region 201 and the third region 203. The first region 201 is located closer to the first edge B1 than the second region 202. The third region 203 is located closer to the third edge B3 than the second region 202. The second rear region of the exterior of the foldable electronic device 2 includes a fourth region (or second top region) 204, a fifth region (or second middle region) 205, and a sixth region (or second lower region) 206. The fifth region 205 includes the fourth region 204 and the sixth region 206. The fourth region 204 is located closer to the fifth edge B5 than the fifth region 205. The sixth region 206 is located closer to the seventh edge B7 than the fifth region 205. In the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, the first region 201 and the fourth region 204, the second region 202 and the fifth region 205, and the third region 203 and the sixth region 206 overlap, respectively. When positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the electromagnetic field 701 generated in correspondence with the first current path L1 including the first metal E1 is radiated through the first region 201 of the first back region, and the electromagnetic field 702 generated in correspondence with the second current path L2 including the seventh metal E7 is radiated through the fourth region 204 of the second back region. The first region 201 is less likely to be included in the user's hand grip position for the foldable electronic device 2 in the unfolded or folded state compared to the second region 202 and the third region 203. By ensuring that the electromagnetic field 701 generated in accordance with the first current path L1 including the first metal E1 is radiated through the first region 201 of the first back region, the limitations on the user's hand grip position to the foldable electronic device 2 in an unfolded or folded state can be reduced, and the possibility of the user's hand (e.g., dielectric) degrading the radiation performance can be reduced. The fourth region 204 is less likely to be included in the user's hand grip position to the foldable electronic device 2 in an unfolded or folded state compared to the fifth region 205 and the sixth region 206.By ensuring that the electromagnetic field 702 generated in the second current path L2, which includes the seventh metal E7, is radiated through the fourth region 204 of the second back region, the limitations on the user's hand grip position for the foldable electronic device 2 in an unfolded or folded state can be reduced, and the possibility of the radiation performance being degraded by the user's hand (e.g., dielectric) can be reduced. 【0188】 According to one embodiment, in the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, the first current path (or first loop) L1 including the first metal E1 and the second current path (or second loop) L2 including the seventh metal E7 provide (or form) a coil (or a loop in the form of a coil). The first current path L1 provides (or forms) the first turn of the coil. The second current path L2 provides (or forms) the second turn of the coil. When positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the coil formed by the combination of the first turn of the first current path L1 and the second turn of the second current path L2 in the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2 generates an electromagnetic field which is a composite of the electromagnetic field 701 generated through the first current path L1 and the electromagnetic field 702 generated through the second current path L2, thereby improving the radiation performance. 【0189】 According to one embodiment, the third point P3 of the first metal E1 electrically connected to the third electrical path EP3 is located closer to the hinge portion 24 than the first point P1 of the first metal E1 electrically connected to the first electrical path EP1. The second point P2 of the seventh metal E7 electrically connected to the second electrical path EP2 is located closer to the hinge portion 24 than the fourth point P4 of the seventh metal E7 electrically connected to the fourth electrical path EP4. When positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, current (or radiated current) flows from the first point P1 to the third point P3 on the first metal E1, and from the fourth point P4 to the second point P2 on the seventh metal E7. In the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 are aligned and overlap. In the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the direction in which current (or radiated current) flows on the first metal E1 from the first point P1 to the third point P3 and the direction in which current flows on the seventh metal E7 from the fourth point P4 to the second point P2 are substantially the same. In the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, having the current (or radiated current) flow in substantially the same direction (see 800 in Figure 8) in the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 which are aligned and overlapping with each other generates an electromagnetic field with greater electromagnetic force strength and improves radiation performance compared to having the current flow in opposite directions (e.g., in opposite directions) in the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 which are aligned and overlapping with each other in the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2. 【0190】 In the present invention, when the foldable electronic device 2 is in the folded state, the fact that the radiated current flows in the same direction on two metals aligned with each other during power supply (e.g., the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7) means that the phase (phase of the alternating current) of the radiated current flowing on one metal (e.g., the first metal E1) and the phase of the radiated current flowing on the other metal (e.g., the seventh metal E7) substantially coincide at a specific point in time, that is, the phase relationship between the waveforms is in phase. The fact that the waveform of the radiated current flowing on one metal (e.g., the first metal E1) and the waveform of the radiated current flowing on the other metal (e.g., the seventh metal E7) are in phase with each other means that they are perfectly aligned in time and the difference between the waves is zero. In the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, the fact that radiated currents flow in different directions on two metals aligned with each other (e.g., the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7) during power supply means that the phase (phase of the alternating current) of the radiated current flowing on one metal (e.g., the first metal E1) and the phase of the radiated current flowing on the other metal (e.g., the seventh metal E7) do not coincide at a given time, for example, that the phase relationship between the waveforms is either in opposite phase or between in-phase and out-of-phase. 【0191】 In various embodiments, although not shown separately, the first electrical path EP1 is electrically connected to the third point P3, and the third electrical path EP3 is electrically connected to the first point P1. Although not shown separately, the second electrical path EP2 is electrically connected to the fourth point P4, and the fourth electrical path EP4 is electrically connected to the second point P2. When positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, current (or radiated current) flows from the third point P3 to the first point P1 on the first metal E1, and from the second point P2 to the fourth point P4 on the seventh metal E7. When the foldable electronic device 2 is in its folded state and positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the direction in which current (or radiated current) flows from the third point P3 to the first point P1 on the first metal E1 and the direction in which current flows from the second point P2 to the fourth point P4 on the seventh metal E7 are substantially the same. When the foldable electronic device 2 is in its folded state and current (or radiated current) flows in substantially the same direction in the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 which are aligned and overlapping with each other, it is possible to generate an electromagnetic field with a greater electromagnetic force intensity and improve the radiation performance compared to when the current flows in opposite directions (e.g., in opposite directions) in the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7. 【0192】 According to various embodiments, the first metal E1 may extend from a first end adjacent to the second metal E2 to a second end adjacent to the sixth metal E6. The first point P1 is substantially located at the first end of the first metal E1, but is not limited to this, and may be formed at other locations between the first and second ends of the first metal E1. The third point P3 is substantially located at the second end of the first metal E1, but is not limited to this, and may be formed at other locations between the first and second ends of the first metal E1. 【0193】 According to various embodiments, the seventh metal E7 may extend from a third end adjacent to the eighth metal E8 to a fourth end adjacent to the twelfth metal E12. The fourth point P4 is substantially located at the third end of the seventh metal E7, but is not limited to this, and may be formed at other locations between the third and fourth ends of the seventh metal E7. The second point P2 is substantially located at the fourth end of the seventh metal E7, but is not limited to this, and may be formed at other locations between the third and fourth ends of the seventh metal E7. 【0194】 According to one embodiment, the EMI filter 620 is located in or electrically connected to the first electrical path EP1 and / or the second electrical path EP2. The EMI filter 620 reduces or shields noise affecting a signal in a selected or specified frequency band (e.g., an NFC signal). 【0195】 According to one embodiment, the matching circuit 630 is located in or electrically connected to the first electrical path EP1 and / or the second electrical path EP2. The matching circuit 630 adjusts the frequency of the first example antenna structure 600 so that resonance occurs in a selected or specified frequency band. The matching circuit 630 shifts the resonant frequency of the first example antenna structure 600 to a specified frequency, or shifts the resonant frequency by a specified amount. 【0196】 According to one embodiment, when the foldable electronic device 2 is in an unfolded state and positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the frequency of the first example antenna structure 600 so that the electromagnetic field 701 generated in correspondence with the first current path L1 including the first metal E1 and the electromagnetic field 702 generated in correspondence with the second current path L2 including the seventh metal E7 have a resonant frequency of approximately 13.56 MHz with respect to NFC. For example, when the foldable electronic device 2 is in an unfolded state and positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the frequency of the first example antenna structure 600 so that the electromagnetic field generated from the coil formed by the combination of the first turn of the first current path and the second turn of the second current path has a resonant frequency of approximately 13.56 MHz with respect to NFC. 【0197】 According to one embodiment, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the inductance of the first example antenna structure 600 so that it has a specified inductance value when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2. For example, when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2 in the unfolded state of the foldable electronic device 2, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the inductance of the first example antenna structure 600 so that the electromagnetic field 701 generated in the first current path L1 including the first metal E1 and the electromagnetic field 702 generated in the second current path L2 including the seventh metal E7 have an inductance value of approximately 8 to approximately 10 μH (microhenry) for approximately 13.56 MHz related to NFC. For example, when the foldable electronic device 2 is in the folded state and positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the second electrical path EP2, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the inductance of the first example antenna structure 600 so that the electromagnetic field generated from the coil formed by the combination of the first turn of the first current path and the second turn of the second current path has an inductance value of approximately 8 to approximately 10 μH for approximately 13.56 MHz with respect to NFC. 【0198】 According to one embodiment, the matching circuit 630 provides (or forms) impedance matching. When supplying positive power to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power to the second electrical path EP2, the matching circuit 630 reduces transmission loss by impedance matching. 【0199】 According to one embodiment, the first filter 640 is located on or electrically connected to the first electrical path EP1. The wireless communication circuit 610 is electrically connected to the first metal E1, for example, through the first filter 640. When the first metal E1 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band (referred to as a non-NFC frequency band) such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the first filter 640 reduces the influence (e.g., electromagnetic interference) that the antenna structure 600 of the first example has on the non-NFC band. For example, when the first metal E1 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the first filter 640 reduces or prevents the occurrence of resonance in the NFC band (also referred to as the NFC frequency band). 【0200】 According to one embodiment, the first filter 640 is provided as at least one filter (also referred to as a filter circuit), at least one switch (also referred to as a switch circuit), or a combination thereof. 【0201】 According to one embodiment, the first filter 640 includes a diplexer or duplexer that separates and transmits the NFC band and the non-NFC band, respectively. 【0202】 According to one embodiment, the second filter 650 is located in or electrically connected to the second electrical path EP2. The wireless communication circuit 610 is electrically connected to the seventh metal E7, for example, through the second filter 650. When the seventh metal E7 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the second filter 650 reduces the influence (e.g., electromagnetic interference) that the antenna structure 600 of the first example has on the non-NFC band. For example, when the seventh metal E7 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the second filter 650 reduces or prevents the occurrence of resonance in the NFC band. 【0203】 According to one embodiment, the second filter 650 is provided as at least one filter (also referred to as a filter circuit), at least one switch (also referred to as a switch circuit), or a combination thereof. 【0204】 According to one embodiment, the second filter 650 includes a diplexer or duplexer that separates and transmits the NFC band and the NFC band separately. 【0205】 The embodiment shown in Figure 6 discloses a configuration in which the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 are connected in series with the wireless communication circuit 610. However, the embodiment is not limited to this configuration, and the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 can be configured in parallel with the wireless communication circuit 610. For example, a configuration in which the first metal E1 and the seventh metal E7 are connected in parallel with the wireless communication circuit 610 will be described with reference to Figure 9. 【0206】 Figure 9 shows a foldable electronic device 2 in an unfolded state according to one embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood in the present invention that all combinations of features and / or embodiments disclosed in relation to Figure 9 are conceptually included. That is, all combinations of features described later in relation to Figure 9 should be considered to be included in the present invention as specific examples. 【0207】 Referring to Figure 9, the foldable electronic device 2 includes a first side metal 2112E containing multiple metals (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6), a second side metal 2212E containing multiple metals (E7, E8, E9, E10, E11, E12), a first ground area G1, a second ground area G2, a first electrical path EP1, a second electrical path EP2, a fifth electrical path EP5, a sixth electrical path EP6, a seventh electrical path EP7, a wireless communication circuit 610, an EMI filter 620, a matching circuit 630, a first filter 640, and / or a second filter 650. In Figure 9, descriptions of some components that are the same as those shown in Figure 6 are omitted. 【0208】 According to one embodiment, the second example antenna structure 900 included in the foldable electronic device 2 includes a first metal E1, a seventh metal E7, a first ground region G1, a second ground region G2, a first electrical path EP1, a second electrical path EP2, a fifth electrical path EP5, a sixth electrical path EP6, and / or a seventh electrical path EP7. 【0209】 According to one embodiment, the sixth electrical path EP6 can electrically connect the first electrical path EP1 and the fourth point P4 of the seventh metal E7.

In Figure 22, descriptions of some components that are the same as those shown in Figure 6 are omitted. 【0343】 According to one embodiment, the eighth example antenna structure 2200 included in the foldable electronic device 2 includes a first metal E1, a seventh metal E7, a first ground region G1, a second ground region G2, a first electrical path EP1, a fifth electrical path EP5, and / or an eleventh electrical path EP11. 【0344】 According to one embodiment, the 11th electrical path EP11 electrically connects the wireless communication circuit 610 and the third point P3 of the first metal E1. The first metal E1 is electrically connected to the third point P3 of the first metal E1 through the 11th electrical path EP11.

The + voltage is provided to a first point P1 of the first metal E1 through the first electrical path EP1. The - voltage is provided to a third point P3 of the first metal E1 through the eleventh electrical path EP11. 【0346】 According to one embodiment, when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the eleventh electrical path EP11, a current flow corresponding to the first metal E1 is provided (or formed). The current flow has a current path (or loop) through the first metal E1, through which current (or radiated current) flows from the first electrical path EP1 to the eleventh electrical path EP11. The current path and the distribution of current (or radiated current) following the current path form an electromagnetic field (or magnetic field distribution). 【0347】 According to one embodiment, when supplying positive power to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power to the 11th electrical path EP11, an electromagnetic field including an electromagnetic force passing through the first non-ground region NG1 between the first metal E1 and the first ground region G1 is provided (or formed). 【0348】 According to one embodiment, the wireless communication circuit 610 is configured to transmit and / or receive signals of a selected or specified frequency band through an electromagnetic field generated in correspondence with the current path including the first metal E1 when supplying positive power to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power to the eleventh electrical path EP11. 【0349】 According to one embodiment, the wireless communication circuit 610 is configured to transmit and / or receive signals of approximately 13.56 MHz related to NFC through an electromagnetic field generated in correspondence with a current path including a first metal E1. 【0350】 According to one embodiment, in the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2 (see Figure 3), the first non-ground region NG1 and the second non-ground region NG2 are aligned and overlapping with each other. When positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the 11th electrical path EP11, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic field generated corresponding to the current path including the first metal E1 passes through the first non-ground region NG1 and the second non-ground region NG2, which are aligned and overlapping with each other. The second non-ground region NG2 prevents the magnetic flux from being reduced by the second ground region G2, thereby reducing the decrease in the radiation performance of the antenna structure 2200 of the 8th example. When the reduction in magnetic flux by the second non-ground region NG2 is reduced in the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2, the energy of the electromagnetic field increases due to the increase in the inductance value, and the radiation performance of the antenna structure 2200 of the 8th example can be improved. 【0351】 According to one embodiment, the EMI filter 620 is located in or electrically connected to the first electrical path EP1 and / or the eleventh electrical path EP11.

The matching circuit 630 adjusts the frequency of the eighth example antenna structure 2200 so that resonance occurs in a selected or specified frequency band. The matching circuit 630 shifts the resonant frequency of the eighth example antenna structure 2200 to a specified frequency, or shifts the resonant frequency by a specified amount. 【0353】 According to one embodiment, when positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the eleventh electrical path EP11, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the frequency of the antenna structure 2200 of the eighth example so that the electromagnetic field generated in correspondence with the current path including the first metal E1 has a resonant frequency of approximately 13.56 MHz with respect to NFC. 【0354】 According to one embodiment, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the inductance of the antenna structure 2200 of the eighth example so that it has a specified inductance value when positively feeding power to the first electrical path EP1 and negatively feeding power to the eleventh electrical path EP11. For example, when positively feeding power to the first electrical path EP1 and negatively feeding power to the eleventh electrical path EP11, the matching circuit 630 adjusts the inductance of the antenna structure 2200 of the eighth example so that the electromagnetic field generated in accordance with the current path including the first metal E1 has an inductance value of about 8 to about 10 μH for about 13.56 MHz with respect to NFC. 【0355】 According to one embodiment, the matching circuit 630 provides (or forms) impedance matching. When supplying positive power to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power to the eleventh electrical path EP11, the matching circuit 630 reduces transmission loss through impedance matching. 【0356】 According to one embodiment, the first filter 640 is located in or electrically connected to the first electrical path EP1. When the first metal E1 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the first filter 640 reduces the influence (e.g., electromagnetic interference) that the antenna structure 2200 of the eighth example has on the non-NFC band. For example, when the first metal E1 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the first filter 640 reduces or prevents the occurrence of resonance in the NFC band. 【0357】 According to one embodiment, the first filter 640 is provided as at least one filter (also referred to as a filter circuit), at least one switch (also referred to as a switch circuit), or a combination thereof. 【0358】 According to one embodiment, the first filter 640 includes a diplexer or duplexer that separates and transmits the NFC band and the NFC band separately. 【0359】 According to one embodiment, the third filter 660 is located in or electrically connected to the 11th electrical path EP11. When the first metal E1 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the third filter 660 reduces the influence (e.g., electromagnetic interference) that the antenna structure 2200 of the 8th example has on the non-NFC band. For example, when the first metal E1 is used as an antenna radiator in a non-NFC band such as LB, MB, HB, or UHB, the third filter 660 reduces or prevents the occurrence of resonance in the NFC band. 【0360】 According to one embodiment, the third filter 660 is provided as at least one filter (also referred to as a filter circuit), at least one switch (also referred to as a switch circuit), or a combination thereof. 【0361】 According to one embodiment, the third filter 660 includes a diplexer or duplexer that separates and transmits the NFC band and the NFC band. 【0362】 Figure 23 shows a foldable electronic device 2 in an unfolded state according to one embodiment of the present invention.

When positive power is supplied to the first electrical path EP1 and negative power is supplied to the eleventh electrical path EP11, the electromagnetic field generated by the helical conductive pattern 1100 is radiated through the sixth region 206. 【0372】 According to various embodiments, in the embodiment shown in Figure 22 or Figure 23, the wireless communication circuit 610 may be configured to provide (or supply) a + voltage to the 11th electrical path EP11 and a - voltage to the first electrical path EP1. 【0373】 Figure 24 shows a heatmap 2410 of the magnetic field distribution during power supply in the folded state of the foldable electronic device 2 of Figure 23 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and heatmaps (2420, 2430, 2440, 2450) of comparative foldable electronic devices (2421, 2431, 2441, 2451) during power supply in the folded state. 【0374】 In the foldable electronic device 2 shown in Figure 23 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the seventh metal E7 and the second ground region G2 are physically and electrically isolated from each other. 【0375】 The comparative examples of foldable electronic devices (2421, 2431, 2441, 2451) include the foldable electronic device 2421 of the fifth comparative example, the foldable electronic device 2431 of the sixth comparative example, the foldable electronic device 2441 of the seventh comparative example, and / or the foldable electronic device 2451 of the eighth comparative example. The foldable electronic device 2421 of the fifth comparative example includes a twelfth electrical path EP12 that electrically connects the second point P2 of the seventh metal E7 to the second ground area G2. The foldable electronic device 2431 of the sixth comparative example includes a thirteenth electrical path EP13 that electrically connects the fourth point P4 of the seventh metal E7 to the second ground area G2.
