[0040] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating configurations of an electronic device for supplying a wireless signal through a conductive member according to one embodiment.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device (400) may include a conductive member (410), a non-conductive member (420), a printed circuit board (430), and a conductive connection member (440). For example, the electronic device (400) may correspond to the electronic device (200) of FIGS. 1 and 2 . For example, the conductive member (410) may correspond to the conductive portion (2181) of the side member (218) of FIGS. 1 and 2 . For example, the non-conductive member (420) may correspond to the non-conductive portions (2182, 2183) of the side member (218) of FIGS. 1 and 2 .

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive member (410) may form at least a portion of a side surface of the electronic device (400). The conductive member (410) may include a portion extending toward the interior space of the electronic device (400). For example, the conductive member (410) and the portion extending toward the interior space of the electronic device (400) may be formed integrally or may be formed as separate members.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-conductive member (420) may be disposed in an internal space of the electronic device (400). For example, the non-conductive member (420) may be disposed between the rear surface of the electronic device (400) facing the -z axis and the display (201). For example, the display (201) may be disposed on at least a portion of the front surface of the electronic device (400) facing the +z axis. At least a portion of the conductive member (410) may be coupled with the non-conductive member (420).

[0045] The structure in which a conductive member (410) is combined with a non-conductive member (420) or a conductive member (410) is fixed to a non-conductive member (420) will be described later in FIGS. 4a and 4b.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a printed circuit board (430) may be disposed in an internal space of an electronic device (400). The printed circuit board (430) may include a wireless communication circuit. For example, the wireless communication circuit may be disposed on one surface of the printed circuit board (430). For example, the one surface of the printed circuit board (430) may be a surface facing the rear of the electronic device (400). The wireless communication circuit may supply a signal of a specified frequency band to the conductive member (410). The conductive member (410) may radiate the signal received from the wireless communication circuit to the outside of the electronic device (400). For example, the conductive member (410) may be used as an antenna radiator that radiates a wireless signal of a specified frequency band to the outside of the electronic device (400). The structure and arrangement of the printed circuit board (430) will be described later with reference to FIG. 7.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive connection member (440) can transmit a signal of a wireless communication circuit to the conductive connection member (410). One end of the conductive connection member (440) can be disposed on a printed circuit board (430). For example, one end of the conductive connection member (440) can be disposed on one surface of the printed circuit board (430) on which the wireless communication circuit is disposed. The other end of the conductive connection member (440) can be positioned on at least a portion of the conductive connection member (410). For example, the other end of the conductive connection member (440) can be positioned on at least a portion of a portion of the conductive connection member (410) extending toward the internal space of the electronic device (400). The shape and structure of the conductive connection member (440) will be described later with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.

[0048] FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating the arrangement of conductive members and non-conductive members according to one embodiment. FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along section C-C' of FIG. 4A according to one embodiment.

[0049] Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B , according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive member (410) may include a protrusion (510). For example, the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may include a portion extending from a side surface of the electronic device (400) toward an internal space of the electronic device (400). For example, the protrusion (510) may be formed substantially perpendicular to the side surface of the electronic device (400). The protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may include a first surface (550) facing the -z-axis direction and a fifth surface (580) facing the +z-axis direction.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a non-conductive member (420) may be disposed between a rear surface of an electronic device (400) and a display (540). For example, the display (540) may be included in the display (310) of FIGS. 1 and 2. At least a portion of the non-conductive member (420) may be coupled with the conductive member (410). For example, the non-conductive member (420) may include a first recess (520) for coupling with the conductive member (410). For example, a protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may be inserted into at least a portion of the non-conductive member (420) through an opening (450) of the non-conductive member (420). As the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) is inserted into the opening (450) of the non-conductive member (420), the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) can be seated in the first recess (520) of the non-conductive member (420). For example, the fifth surface (580) of the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) facing the +z-axis direction can be in contact with at least a portion of the first recess (520). For example, the first recess (520) and the opening (450) can be formed by injection-molding the non-conductive member (420) onto the conductive member (410). For example, the first recess (520) and the opening (450) can be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the protrusion (510) by injecting the non-conductive member (420) onto the conductive member (410).

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may be exposed to the internal space of the electronic device (400). For example, when the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) is seated in the first recess (520) of the non-conductive member (420), at least a portion of the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may be exposed to the internal space of the electronic device (400).

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-conductive member (420) may include a second surface (560) extending from the first recess (520). For example, the second surface (560) of the non-conductive member (420) may be a surface facing the +z-axis direction. The first surface (550) of the protrusion (510) and the second surface (560) of the non-conductive member (420) may form one surface. For example, the first surface (550) of the protrusion (510) and the second surface (560) of the non-conductive member (420) may form one surface, thereby forming a third surface (515).

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a length of the protrusion (510) protruding toward the interior space of the electronic device (400) may be shorter than a vertical length of the second face (560) extending from the first recess (520) of the non-conductive member (420). For example, the vertical length of the second face (560) may be a length extending in the y-axis direction. For example, when the protrusion (510) and the second face (560) extending from the first recess (520) are viewed from the z-axis direction, a length of the protrusion (510) extending in the y-axis direction may be shorter than a length of the second face (560) extending in the y-axis direction.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a conductive sheet (500) may be disposed on at least a portion of a third surface (515) formed by a first surface (550) of a protrusion (510) and a second surface (560) of a non-conductive member (420). A wireless communication circuit may be powered by the conductive member (410) through the conductive sheet (500) connected to the conductive connection member (440). The shape and arrangement of the conductive sheet (500) will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-conductive member (420) may include a second recess (530) that forms a step with the first recess (520). For example, a portion of the conductive member (410) adjacent to the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may be seated in the second recess (530) of the non-conductive member (420). A portion of the conductive member (410) adjacent to the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may be seated in the second recess (530) of the non-conductive member (420), thereby allowing the non-conductive member (420) to support the conductive member (410).

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device (400) may further include a display (540). For example, the display (540) may correspond to the display (201) of FIGS. 1 and 2. The display (540) may be disposed on at least a portion of the front surface of the electronic device (400) facing the +z-axis direction.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-conductive member (420) may include a fourth side (570) facing the display (540). For example, the fourth side (570) may be a side facing the +z-axis direction. A distance (d1) from the display (540) to the fifth side (580) of the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) may be greater than a distance (d2) from the display (540) to a portion adjacent to the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410). For example, a distance between the display (540) and the first protrusion (510) may be greater than a distance between the display (540) and the conductive member (410). Since the first protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410) is located at a greater distance from the display (540) than other parts of the conductive member (410), the signal of the wireless communication circuit supplied to the conductive member (410) can be less subject to interference from the display (540).

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the distance (d3) between the display (540) and the conductive sheet (500) may be greater than the distance (d1) between the display (540) and the fifth side (580) of the protrusion (510). For example, the distance between the display (540) and the conductive sheet (500) may be greater than the distance between the display (540) and the fifth side (580) of the protrusion (510). By supplying a signal to the conductive member (410) through the conductive sheet (500) disposed on at least a portion of the first side (550) of the protrusion (510), the supplied signal may be less susceptible to interference from the display (540).

[0059] Fig. 5 is a front view of a conductive sheet according to one embodiment. Fig. 6 is a back view of a conductive sheet according to one embodiment.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive sheet (500) may include a first portion (610) and a second portion (620). The first portion (610) of the conductive sheet (500) may be disposed on at least a portion of a first surface (550) of a protrusion (510) of a conductive member (410). For example, the first portion (610) of the conductive sheet (500) may be welded and attached to the first surface (550) of the protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410). For example, the first portion (610) of the conductive sheet (500) may include a plurality of openings (710) that may be welded to the first surface (550) of the first protrusion (510) of the conductive member (410). A plurality of openings (710) may be formed in a direction toward the +z-axis of the first portion (610) of the conductive sheet (500).

These various types of communication modules may 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 (1792) may use subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (1796) to identify or authenticate the electronic device (1701) within a communication network such as the first network (1798) or the second network (1799).

The wireless communication module (1792) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (1792) may support various technologies for securing performance in high-frequency bands, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna. The wireless communication module (1792) may support various requirements specified in the electronic device (1701), an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (1704)), or a network system (e.g., the second network (1799)). According to one embodiment, the wireless communication module (1792) can support a peak data rate (e.g., 20 Gbps or more) for eMBB implementation, a loss coverage (e.g., 164 dB or less) for mMTC implementation, or a U-plane latency (e.g., 0.5 ms or less for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), or 1 ms or less for round trip) for URLLC implementation.

In this case, at least one antenna suitable for a communication method used in a communication network, such as the first network (1798) or the second network (1799), may be selected from the plurality of antennas by, for example, the communication module (1790). A signal or power may be transmitted or received between the communication module (1790) and the external electronic device via the at least one selected antenna. In some embodiments, in addition to the radiator, another component (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) may be additionally formed as a part of the antenna module (1797).

[0116] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)).

[0117] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (1701) and an external electronic device (1704) via a server (1708) connected to a second network (1799). Each of the external electronic devices (1702 or 1704) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (1701). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (1701) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (1702, 1704, or 1708). For example, when the electronic device (1701) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (1701) may, instead of or in addition to executing the function or service itself, request one or more external electronic devices to perform the function or at least a part of the service.

The electronic device (1701) may process the result as is or additionally and provide it as at least a portion of a response to the request. For this purpose, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example. The electronic device (1701) may provide an ultra-low latency service using, for example, distributed computing or mobile edge computing. In another embodiment, the external electronic device (1704) may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The server (1708) may be an intelligent server utilizing machine learning and / or a neural network.According to one embodiment, an external electronic device (1704) or server (1708) may be included within the second network (1799).
