1. An electronic device comprising:
a foldable housing comprising:
a hinge structure,
a first housing structure connected to the hinge structure, and comprising a first surface facing a first direction, a second surface facing a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, and a first side member which surrounds at least in part a space between the first surface and the second surface, and comprises a first conductive unit, a first insulating unit, a second conductive unit, a second insulating unit and a third conductive unit sequentially disposed from the hinge structure, and
a second housing structure connected to the hinge structure, comprising a third surface facing a third direction, a fourth surface facing a fourth direction which is opposite to the third direction, and a second side member which surrounds at least in part a space between the third surface and the fourth surface, and comprises a fourth conductive unit, a third insulating unit, a fifth conductive unit, a fourth insulating unit and a sixth conductive unit sequentially disposed from the hinge structure, wherein the second housing structure folds with the first housing structure based on the hinge structure, the first surface faces the third surface in a folded state, the third direction is same as the first direction in an unfolded state, the first insulating unit and the third insulating unit substantially align in the folded state, and the second insulating unit and the fourth insulating unit substantially align in the folded state;

a flexible display extended from the first surface to the third surface;
a first printed circuit board disposed between the first surface and the second surface, and comprising at least one first ground layer;
a second printed circuit board disposed between the third surface and the fourth surface, and comprising at least one second ground layer;
at least one wireless communication circuit disposed on the first printed circuit board, and configured to at least one of transmit or receive:
a first signal of a first frequency band by electrically connecting to a first position of the second conductive unit, wherein the first position of the second conductive unit is closer to the second insulating unit than the first insulating unit, and
a second signal of a second frequency band by electrically connecting to a second position of the third conductive unit, wherein the second position of the third conductive unit is closer to the second insulating unit than the first insulating unit;, and
at least one first switch comprising:
a first terminal electrically connected to the second ground layer,
a second terminal electrically connected to a third position of the fifth conductive unit, wherein the third position of the fifth conductive unit is closer to the fourth insulating unit than the third insulating unit, and
a third terminal electrically connected to a fourth position of the sixth conductive unit, wherein the fourth position of the sixth conductive unit is close to the fourth insulating unit.
