Claim 15:
16. An electronic device comprising:
a housing comprising:
a front surface plate forming a front surface of the electronic device,
a rear surface plate forming a rear surface of the electronic device, and
a side surface member forming a side surface of the electronic device;

a printed circuit board positioned within the housing and having at least one electronic component disposed thereon;
a first support structure positioned between the printed circuit board and the rear surface plate, and formed with a conductive material;
a second support structure disposed adjacent to the first support structure and formed with a nonconductive material;
a patch antenna comprising:
a flexible printed circuit board disposed on one surface of the first support structure that faces the rear surface plate, and
a conductive patch disposed on the flexible printed circuit board;

a first conductive pattern disposed on one surface of the second support structure that faces the rear surface plate;
a second conductive pattern disposed on the one surface of the second support structure that faces the rear surface plate, and disposed to be spaced apart from the first conductive pattern; and
a wireless communication circuit electrically connected with the conductive patch, the first conductive pattern and the second conductive pattern,
wherein the conductive patch is fed from the wireless communication circuit at a first point,
wherein the first conductive pattern is fed from the wireless communication circuit at a second point, and
wherein the second conductive pattern is fed from the wireless communication circuit at a third point.
