Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. 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 dielectric material having a first thickness in the first portion and having a second thickness, which is smaller than the first thickness, in the second portion and the third portion,
a first conductive layer provided in the first direction from the dielectric material, and
an intermediate conductive layer provided in a second direction opposite to the first direction, from the dielectric material,

wherein the intermediate conductive layer is provided only in the second portion and the third portion, and is not provided in the first portion, and
wherein a portion of the dielectric material in the first portion is disposed to face the metal member.
