Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device comprising a housing. An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a housing configured such that at least a portion of the edge thereof operates as an antenna, wherein the housing comprises: an outer frame constituting at least a portion of the edge of the electronic device and including a conductive material; an inner frame disposed on the inner side of the outer frame and including a conductive material; and a connection part disposed between the outer frame and the inner frame, configured to connect the outer frame and the inner frame to each other, and including a conductive material. The inner frame comprises an inner body part and an inner protrusion protruding from the inner body part toward the outer frame. The outer frame comprises: an outer body part extending along the edge of the housing; and an outer protrusion protruding from the outer body part toward the inner frame and disposed at a position not overlapping the inner protrusion when viewed from a lateral side intersecting a first thickness direction of the housing. The connection part may be in contact with a surface of the inner protrusion in the first thickness direction, a surface of the inner protrusion in a second thickness direction opposite to the first thickness direction, a surface of the inner protrusion facing the outer frame, a surface of the outer frame in the first thickness direction, a surface of the outer frame in the second thickness direction, and a surface of the outer frame facing the inner frame.
