Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a first plate, a second plate facing away from the first plate, and a side member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate and coupled with the second plate or integrally formed with the second plate;
a display viewable through at least part of the first plate;
an antenna structure disposed inside the housing, wherein the antenna structure comprises:
a first conductive layer comprising:
a first surface facing a first direction;
a first periphery extending in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction;
a first region protruding in a fourth direction perpendicular to the third direction from a first portion of the first periphery; and
a second region spaced from the first region in the third direction by a first distance and protruding in the fourth direction from a second portion of the first periphery,

a second conductive layer spaced from the first conductive layer and facing the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer comprising:
a second periphery extending in the third direction;
a third region protruding in the fourth direction from the second periphery to face the first region; and
a fourth region spaced from the third region in the third direction by a second distance and protruding in the fourth direction from the second periphery to face the second region,

a first conductive pattern extending from an end of a third conductive path in a fifth direction opposite to the third direction, and
a second conductive pattern extending from an end of a fourth conductive path in the third direction,

wherein the first conductive pattern and the second conductive pattern form a dipole antenna,
wherein the first region and the third region comprise a first shortened-patch (s-patch) element,
wherein the second region and the fourth region comprise a second s-patch element, and
wherein the dipole antenna is disposed substantially between the first s-patch element and the second s-patch element.
