Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device, comprising:
an antenna module including an antenna array, a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) connected with the antenna array and a first flexible printed circuit board connected with the RFIC;
a first connector disposed on the first flexible printed circuit board;
a communication processor disposed on a first printed circuit board;
a coaxial cable electrically connecting the first flexible printed circuit board and the communication processor through the first connector; and
a second printed circuit board distinct from the first printed circuit board and configured to electrically connect the communication processor and the first flexible printed circuit board;
wherein the communication processor is configured to:
provide a data signal to be transmitted to an external electronic device to the RFIC along a first path in the first flexible printed circuit board through the coaxial cable and the first connector, and
provide a control signal to the RFIC along a second path in the first flexible printed circuit board through the second printed circuit board, the second path being distinct from the first path,

wherein the data signal provided to the RFIC is up-converted in the RFIC based on the control signal, and
wherein the up-converted signal is transmitted to the external electronic device through the antenna array.
