The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0054] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate.

In the third state (200c), current may be applied to the second conductive portion (233). In the third state (200c), the electronic device (200) may use only the second conductive portion (233) and may not use the first conductive portion (223). A switch (e.g., switch (296) of FIG. 10) may not transmit a signal to the first conductive portions (2231, 2232, 2233) and may transmit a signal to the second conductive portions (2331, 2332, 2333).

FIG. 15b is a diagram conceptually illustrating the structure of FIG. 15a. The components described with reference to FIGS. 15a and 15b may be partly or entirely identical to the components described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 14b. The components described with reference to FIGS. 15a and 15b may be partly or entirely identical to the components described with reference to FIGS. 16a to 18.

[0140] According to one embodiment, the second housing (220) and the third housing (230) can be rotated relative to the first housing (210) in a direction in which they become adjacent to each other. The direction in which the second housing (220) rotates relative to the first housing (210) and the direction in which the third housing (230) rotates relative to the first housing (210) can be opposite to each other.

[0141] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (200) may operate in a fourth state (200d). The fourth state (200d) may be a state in which each of the second housing (220) and the third housing (230) is rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the first housing (210). In the fourth state (200d), the first conductive portion (223) may face the third housing (230). The fourth state (200d) may be a state of the electronic device (200) illustrated in FIG. 15a.

[0142] According to one embodiment, in the fourth state (200d), the first conductive portion (223) may face the third housing (230). A first line (L1) extending from the first hinge (270) toward the first conductive portion (223) and a second line (L2) extending from the second hinge (280) toward the second conductive portion (233) may intersect each other. In the fourth state (200d), a portion of the third housing (230) may be positioned on the line (L1) extending from the first conductive portion (223). In the fourth state (200d), the first conductive portion (223) may face a portion of a display (e.g., the third display area (202c) of FIG. 2) disposed in the third housing (230). In the fourth state (200d), the electromagnetic signal radiated from the first conductive portion (223) may interfere with the third housing (230). In the fourth state (200d), the third housing (230) may be located on the radiation path (e.g., the first line (L1)) of the first conductive portion (223).

[0143] According to one embodiment, in the fourth state (200d), the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) may be spaced apart. In the fourth state (200d), an end surface of the first conductive portion (223) and one surface of a display (e.g., the third display area (202c) of FIG. 2) disposed in the third housing (230) may be spaced apart. In the fourth state (200d), a gap (G) may be formed between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230). In the fourth state (200d), a separation distance (D) may be formed between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230).

[0144] According to one embodiment, in the fourth state (200d), the second housing (220) can be rotated by a first angle (A2) with respect to the first housing (210). The first angle (A2) may be an angle (A2) at which the first line (L1) is inclined with respect to the reference line (B) at which the first housing (210) is located. In the fourth state (200d), the third housing (230) can be rotated by a second angle (B2+S) with respect to the first housing (210). The second angle (B2+S) may be an angle (B2+S) at which the second line (L2) is inclined with respect to the reference line (B) at which the first housing (210) is located. The first angle (A2) in the fourth state (200d) may be substantially the same as the first angle (A2) in the second state (200b). In the fourth state (200d), the second angle (B2+S) may be a value obtained by adding an increase (S) to the second angle (B2) in the second state (200b). The increase (S) may be an angular displacement between the first housing (210) and the third housing (230).

[0145] According to one embodiment, in the fourth state (200d), no current may be applied to the first conductive portion (223). In the fourth state (200d), current may be applied to the second conductive portion (233). In the fourth state (200d), the electronic device (200) may use only the second conductive portion (233) and may not use the first conductive portion (223). A switch (e.g., switch (296) of FIG. 10) may not transmit a signal to the first conductive portions (2231, 2232, 2233) and may transmit a signal to the second conductive portions (2331, 2332, 2333).

The components described with reference to FIG. 16 may be partially or entirely identical to the components described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 15b. The components described with reference to FIG. 16 may be partially or entirely identical to the components described with reference to FIGS. 17a to 18.

[0147] According to one embodiment, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (101) of FIG. 1) may include a processor (e.g., processor (120) of FIG. 1). The processor (120) may be disposed on a circuit board (e.g., circuit board (204) of FIG. 6). The circuit board (204) may be electrically connected to a switch (e.g., switch (296) of FIG. 10) and an antenna (e.g., antennas (2231, 2232, 2233, 2231, 2232, 2233) of FIG. 10). The circuit board (204) may transmit electrical signals to the switch (296) and the antennas (2231, 2232, 2233, 2231, 2232, 2233). The processor (120) and the circuit board (204) may control the switch (296). The processor (120) can control the switch (296) based on the folding angle between the housings (210, 220, 230) (e.g., angles (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3) of FIGS. 12A to 15B) or the separation distance between the second housing (220) and the third housing (230) (e.g., separation distance (D) of FIG. 15A). The processor (120) can be electrically connected to a first sensor (e.g., a first sensor (297) of FIG. 10) and a second sensor (e.g., a second sensor (298) of FIG. 10). The processor (120) can control the switch (296) based on values ​​measured by the first sensor (297) and the second sensor (298).

[0148] According to one embodiment, a control method of an electronic device (200) may include a first process (S100). In the first process (S100), the processor (120) may determine a folded state of the housings (210, 220, 230). If the angle between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) (e.g., angles A1, A2, A3 of FIGS. 12A to 15B) is not 180 degrees, the processor (120) may determine that the electronic device (200) is in a folded state. The processor (120) can determine that the electronic device (200) is in a folded state if both the angle between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) (e.g., angles (A1, A2, A3) of FIGS. 12A to 15B) and the angle between the first housing (210) and the third housing (230) (e.g., angles (B1, B2, B3, B2+S) of FIGS. 12A to 15B) are not 180 degrees. The processor (120) can determine that the electronic device (200) is in an unfolded state if the angle between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) (e.g., angles (A1, A2, A3) of FIGS. 12A to 15B) is 180 degrees. The processor (120) can determine that the electronic device (200) is in an unfolded state when both the angle between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) (e.g., angles (A1, A2, A3) of FIGS. 12A to 15B) and the angle between the first housing (210) and the third housing (230) (e.g., angles (B1, B2, B3, B2+S) of FIGS. 12A to 15B) are 180 degrees. When the processor (120) determines that the electronic device (200) is in an unfolded state, the processor (120) can electrically connect the switch (296) to the first antenna (2231, 2232, 2233) so that the first antenna (e.g., the first antenna (2231, 2232, 2233) of FIG. 10) is used (S500).

[0149] According to one embodiment, a control method of an electronic device (200) may include a second process (S200). In the second process (S200), the processor (120) may calculate a folding angle between the housings (210, 220, 230). In the second process (S200), the processor (120) may calculate an angle between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) (e.g., the first angles (A1, A2, A3) of FIGS. 12A to 15B). In the second process (S200), the processor (120) may calculate an angle between the first housing (210) and the third housing (230) (e.g., the first angles (B1, B2, B3, B2+S) of FIGS. 12A to 15B). In the second process (S200), the processor (120) can calculate the distance between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) (e.g., the distance (D) in FIG. 15a).

[0150] According to one embodiment, the control method of the electronic device (200) may include a third process (S300). In the third process (S300), the processor (120) may compare the angle (A) between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) calculated in the second process (S200) with a first reference value (A1). When the angle (A) between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) is greater than 0 and less than the first reference value (A1), the processor (120) may proceed with the fourth process (S400). The processor (120) can electrically connect the switch (296) to the first antenna (2231, 2232, 2233) so that the first antenna (e.g., the first antenna (2231, 2232, 2233) of FIG. 10) is used when the angle (A) between the first housing (210) and the second housing (220) is greater than the first reference value (A1) (S500).

[0151] According to one embodiment, the control method of the electronic device (200) may include a fourth process (S400). In the fourth process (S400), the processor (120) may compare the angle and the separation distance calculated in the second process (S200) with reference values ​​(e.g., B0, D0). The processor (120) may compare the increase amount (S) with a preset second reference value (B0). The processor (120) may compare the separation distance (D) between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) with the third reference value (D0). When the increase amount (S) is greater than 0 and less than the second reference value (B0), the processor (120) may switch the antenna being used (S600). The processor (120) can connect the switch (296) to the second conductive portion (233) when the increase (S) is greater than 0 and less than the second reference value (B0) (S600). The processor (120) can disconnect the electrical connection between the switch (296) and the first conductive portion (223) when the increase (S) is greater than 0 and less than the second reference value (B0) (S600). The processor (120) can switch the antenna to be used when the separation distance (D) between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) is less than the third reference value (D0) (S600). The processor (120) can connect the switch (296) to the second conductive portion (233) when the distance (D) between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) is less than the third reference value (D0) (S600). The processor (120) can release the electrical connection between the switch (296) and the first conductive portion (223) when the distance (D) between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) is less than the third reference value (D0) (S600). The processor (120) can maintain the use of the first conductive portion (223) when the increase amount (S) is greater than the second reference value (B0) (S500).The processor (120) can maintain use of the first conductive portion (223) when the distance (D) between the first conductive portion (223) and the third housing (230) is greater than or equal to the third reference value (D0) (S500).

Fig. 17c is a graph comparing antenna performance in the states of Figs. 14a and 14b. The components described with reference to Figs. 17a to 17c may be partially or entirely identical to the components described with reference to Figs. 1 to 16.

[0153] Referring to FIGS. 17a to 17c, the P1, P2, and P3 diagrams are graphs showing the antenna performance of the second conductive portion (233) when the housing (210, 220, 230) is fully unfolded (e.g., the state of FIGS. 2 and 3).

The R1 diagram is a graph showing the antenna performance of the first conductive portion (223) when the housing (210, 220, 230) is fully unfolded (e.g., the state of FIGS. 12a and 12b).

Referring to FIG. 17a, in the forms of FIGS. 11 to 12b, the antenna performance of the first conductive portion (223) and the antenna performance of the second conductive portion (233) are similar, and the antenna performance of the first conductive portion (223) can be further improved through Current In-phase tuning. Referring to FIGS. 17b to 17c, when the third housing (230) is positioned on the radiation path of the first conductive portion (223), it can be confirmed that the antenna performance of the second conductive portion (233) is higher than the antenna performance of the first conductive portion (223). Figures 17a to 17c illustrate antenna radiation performance in a given frequency band (e.g., 0 MHz to 1050 MHz). The description of the diagrams (e.g., P1, P2, P3, Q1, Q2, Q3, R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3) shown in Figures 17a to 17c can be equally applied to a second frequency band (e.g., a frequency band higher than 1050 MHz) other than the first frequency band (e.g., 0 MHz to 1050 MHz) shown in Figures 17a to 17c.

The components described with reference to Fig. 18 may be partially or entirely identical to the components described with reference to Figs. 1 to 17c.

[0156] Referring to Fig. 18, when the third housing (230) is positioned on the radiation path of the first conductive portion (223), the second conductive portion (233) can be used instead of the first conductive portion (223).
