Abstract

An example electronic device including an antenna includes a housing including a first conductive portion, a first support member disposed inside the housing, a printed circuit board disposed on one surface of the first support member and including a wireless communication module, an electronic component electrically connected to the printed circuit board, and a conductive plate supporting the electronic component. The conductive plate is constituted such that a first portion is electrically connected to the wireless communication module and a second portion is electrically connected to the first conductive portion, and thereby broadband radiation characteristics can be provided.

Claims (30)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a first conductive portion;

a first support member disposed inside the housing;

a printed circuit board disposed on one surface of the first support member and including a wireless communication module;

an electronic component electrically connected to the printed circuit board;

a conductive plate supporting the electronic component, the conductive plate including a first portion electrically connected to the wireless communication module and a second portion electrically connected to the first conductive portion; and

a heat dissipation member disposed in one direction of the conductive plate and operating as an antenna radiator by coupling with the conductive plate.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the conductive plate is electrically connected to the printed circuit board through a first connecting member, and the second portion is electrically connected to the first conductive portion through a second connecting member.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the first connecting member includes one of a screw, a conductive foam spring, solder, a C clip, or a conductive tape.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive plate operates as a first antenna radiator, and the first conductive portion is configured to operate as a second antenna radiator.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic component includes one of a speaker module, a motor, or a cable to cable (CTC) connector.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein heat generated from the electronic component is dissipated to outside the electronic device through the conductive plate and the first conductive portion.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the conductive plate is configured to be combined with the first conductive portion through a non-conductive member and a conductive member.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the second portion is configured to couple with the conductive member with the non-conductive member therebetween.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the conductive plate is electrically connected to the first conductive portion through a second connecting member and a third PCB.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the third PCB is configured to adjust a time constant of the conductive plate and the first conductive portion.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the third PCB is electrically connected to the first conductive portion through a third connecting member.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductive portion is formed between a first segmenting part and a second segmenting part of the housing.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation member includes a conductive graphite sheet.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation member is configured to receive heat generated from the electronic component through the conductive plate and dissipate the heat to outside the electronic device.

15. An electronic device comprising:

a housing;

a printed circuit board disposed inside the housing and including a wireless communication module;

an electronic component electrically connected to the printed circuit board;

a conductive plate supporting the electronic component, the conductive plate including a first portion electrically connected to the wireless communication module; and
