6. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an impedance matching circuit interposed between the second antenna and the coupler.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second antenna is configured to:
receive a signal in at least a partial band overlapped with a frequency band received by the first antenna.
8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the coupler includes:
a resonance coupler including a first inductance component to generate magnetic coupling together with a second inductance component constituting the first antenna.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the expansion part includes:
at least one fixing protrusion or at least one fixing groove, and
wherein the rear surface of the housing further includes the at least one fixing protrusion or the at least one fixing groove not included in the expansion part.
10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one fixing protrusion is configured to be received in the at least one fixing groove, when the binding member is coupled to the housing.
11. A binding member bound to an electronic device, the binding member comprising:
a strap body;
an expansion part, when the binding member is bound to the electronic device, expanded inward towards the electronic device from one end portion of the strap body and configured to make contact with at least a portion of a rear surface of the housing of the electronic device;
a first antenna provided in the strap body; and
a coupler electrically connected with the first antenna and configured to send a signal, which is received through the first antenna, to the electronic device,
wherein the coupler is disposed to be vertically aligned with a second antenna provided in the electronic device.
12. The binding member of claim 11 , further comprising:
a coupling part formed at one end portion of the strap body and coupled to one side of the electronic device,
wherein the coupler is disposed in at least a portion of the coupling part.
13. The binding member of claim 11 , further comprising:
a coupling part formed at one end portion of the strap body and coupled to one side of the electronic device,
wherein the binding member is bound to the electronic device through a fixing pin passing through the coupling part.
14. The binding member of claim 11 , further comprising:
an impedance matching circuit interposed between the first antenna and the coupler.
15. The binding member of claim 11 , wherein the strap body comprises:
a first strap body bound to one end portion of the electronic device,
a second strap body bound to an opposite end portion of the electronic device, and
a coupling member coupled to one end portion of the first strap body and to one end portion of the second strap body, wherein the coupling member makes contact with a bottom surface of the electronic device.
