Claim 11:
12. An electronic device, comprising:
a circuit board;
an electronic component arranged in a first direction from the circuit board;
a metal member arranged in the first direction from the electronic component and disposed to overlap the electronic component; and
a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) arranged in the first direction from the metal member, wherein the FPCB includes:
an antenna,
a first portion in which the antenna is provided in a form of a patch antenna that overlaps the metal member,
a second portion coupled to a connector of the circuit board, and
a third portion arranged between the first portion and the second portion,

wherein a layered structure of the FPCB includes:
a first conductive layer in which the patch antenna is provided,
a second conductive layer providing a ground layer, and
an intermediate layer arranged between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer,

wherein a thickness of the intermediate layer is reduced in the third portion, and
wherein the intermediate layer includes a dielectric material that is at least partially removed in the third portion to provide a groove.
