Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
     This application is a continuation application of prior application Ser. No. 16/788,822, filed on Feb. 12, 2020, which is based on and claimed priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) of a Korean patent application number 10-2019-0017915, filed on Feb. 15, 2019, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosures of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     The disclosure relates to a dual polarized antenna and an electronic device including the same. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     With the development of wireless communication technology, communication electronic devices are commonly used in daily life, thereby exponentially increasing the use of contents. Accordingly, a network capacity limit may be nearing exhaustion. After commercialization of 4th generation (4G) communication systems, in order to meet growing wireless data traffic demand, a communication system (e.g., 5th generation (5G), pre-5G communication system, or new radio (NR)) that transmits and/or receives signals using a frequency of a high frequency (e.g., millimeter wave (mmWave)) band (e.g., 3 gigahertz (GHz) to 300 GHz band) is being developed. 
     Next-generation wireless communication technologies are currently developed to permit signal transmission/reception using frequencies in the range of 3 GHz to 100 GHz, overcome a high free space loss due to frequency characteristics, implement an efficient mounting structure for increasing an antenna gain, and realize a related new structure of an antenna module. 
     The antenna module that operates in the above-mentioned operating frequency band may include, as an antenna element, at least one conductive patch capable of easily implementing a high gain and a dual polarization. For example, the antenna module may include a plurality of conductive patches spaced apart at regular intervals on a printed circuit board (e.g., an antenna structure). In case of implementing the dual polarization, these conductive patches may be configured to form both a vertical polarization and a horizontal polarization through a pair of feeders that are disposed at symmetrical positions with respect to an imaginary line passing through the center of the conductive patch so as to simultaneously transmit separate radio signals via two carriers at the same frequency without interference. For example, one feeder may be disposed on a virtual line parallel to a first side of the printed circuit board and passing through the center of the conductive patch, and the other feeder may be disposed on a virtual line parallel to a second side of the printed circuit board and passing through the center of the conductive patch. 
     However, in this arrangement of the feeders, the ground of the printed circuit board has different sizes (e.g., areas) for the respective feeders, so that a gain difference may be caused and also spatial multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) characteristics may be degraded. Moreover, when this antenna module is mounted perpendicularly in an electronic device such that the conductive patch and a conductive lateral member face each other, a gain difference between two polarizations may be further increased due to the conductive lateral member. 
     The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the disclosure. 
     SUMMARY

The first cellular network may be a legacy network including a second generation (2G), 3G, 4G, or long term evolution (LTE) network. The second communication processor  214  may establish a communication channel corresponding to a designated band (e.g., about 6 GHz to about 60 GHz) of bands to be used for wireless communication with the second cellular network  294 , and support 5G network communication through the established communication channel. The second cellular network  294  may be a 5G network defined in the 3G partnership project (3GPP). 
     The first communication processor  212  or the second communication processor  214  may establish a communication channel corresponding to another designated band (e.g., about 6 GHz or less) of bands to be used for wireless communication with the second cellular network  294  and support 5G network communication through the established communication channel. The first communication processor  212  and the second communication processor  214  may be implemented in a single chip or a single package. The first communication processor  212  or the second communication processor  214  may be formed in a single chip or a single package with the processor  120 , the auxiliary processor  123 , or the communication module  190 . 
     Upon transmission, the first RFIC  222  may convert a baseband signal generated by the first communication processor  212  to a radio frequency (RF) signal of about 700 MHz to about 3 GHz used in the first cellular network  292  (e.g., legacy network). Upon reception, an RF signal may be obtained from the first cellular network  292  through the first antenna module  242  and be preprocessed through the first RFFE  232 .

     Upon transmission, the second RFIC  224  may convert a baseband signal generated by the first communication processor  212  or the second communication processor  214  to an RF signal (hereinafter, 5G Sub6 RF signal) of a Sub6 band (e.g., 6 GHz or less) to be used in the second cellular network  294  (e.g., 5G network). 
     Upon reception, a 5G Sub6 RF signal may be obtained from the second cellular network  294  (e.g., 5G network) through the second antenna module  244  and be pretreated through the second RFFE  234 . The second RFIC  224  may convert the preprocessed 5G Sub6 RF signal to a baseband signal so as to be processed by a corresponding communication processor of the first communication processor  212  or the second communication processor  214 . 
     The third RFIC  226  may convert a baseband signal generated by the second communication processor  214  to an RF signal (hereinafter, 5G Above 6 RF signal) of a 5G Above 6 band (e.g., about 6 GHz to about 60 GHz) to be used in the second cellular network  294  (e.g., 5G network). Upon reception, a 5G Above 6 RF signal may be obtained from the second cellular network  294  through the antenna  248  and be preprocessed through the third RFFE  236 . The third RFIC  226  may convert the preprocessed 5G Above 6 RF signal to a baseband signal so as to be processed by the second communication processor  214 . The third RFFE  236  may be formed as part of the third RFIC  226 . 
     The electronic device  101  may include a fourth RFIC  228  separately from the third RFIC  226  or as at least part of the third RFIC  226 . In this case, the fourth RFIC  228  may convert a baseband signal generated by the second communication processor  214  to an RF signal (hereinafter, an intermediate frequency (IF) signal) of an intermediate frequency band (e.g., about 9 GHz to about 11 GHz) and transfer the IF signal to the third RFIC  226 . The third RFIC  226  may convert the IF signal to a 5G Above 6RF signal. Upon reception, the 5G Above 6RF signal may be received from the second cellular network  294  through the antenna  248  and be converted to an IF signal by the third RFIC  226 . The fourth RFIC  228  may convert an IF signal to a baseband signal so as to be processed by the second communication processor  214 . 
     The first RFIC  222  and the second RFIC  224  may be implemented into at least part of a single package or a single chip. The first RFFE  232  and the second RFFE  234  may be implemented into at least part of a single package or a single chip. At least one of the first antenna module  242  and the second antenna module  244  may be omitted or may be combined with another antenna module to process RF signals of a corresponding plurality of bands. 
     The third RFIC  226  and the antenna  248  may be disposed at the same substrate to form a third antenna module  246 . For example, the wireless communication module  192  or the processor  120  may be disposed at a first substrate (e.g., main printed circuit board (PCB)). The third RFIC  226  is disposed in a partial area (e.g., lower surface) of the first substrate and a separate second substrate (e.g., sub PCB), and the antenna  248  is disposed in another partial area (e.g., upper surface) of the first substrate and a separate second substrate, thereby forming the third antenna module  246 . By disposing the third RFIC  226  and the antenna  248  in the same substrate, a length of a transmission line therebetween can be reduced. This may reduce a loss (e.g., attenuation) of a signal of a high frequency band (e.g., about 6 GHz to about 60 GHz) to be used in 5G network communication by a transmission line. Therefore, the electronic device  101  may improve a quality or speed of communication with the second cellular network  294 . 
     The antenna  248  may be formed in an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements that may be used for beamforming. In this case, the third RFIC  226  may include a plurality of phase shifters  238  corresponding to a plurality of antenna elements as part of the third RFFE  236 . Upon transmission, each of the plurality of phase shifters  238  may convert a phase of a 5G Above 6 RF signal to be transmitted to the outside (e.g., a base station of a 5G network) of the electronic device  101  through a corresponding antenna element. Upon reception, each of the plurality of phase shifters  238  may convert a phase of the 5G Above 6 RF signal received from the outside to the same phase or substantially the same phase through a corresponding antenna element. This enables transmission or reception through beamforming between the electronic device  101  and the outside. 
     The second cellular network  294  may operate (e.g., stand-alone (SA)) independently of the first cellular network  292  (e.g., legacy network) or may be operated (e.g., non-stand-alone (NSA)) in connection with the first cellular network  292 . For example, the 5G network may have only an access network (e.g., 5G radio access network (RAN) or a next generation (NG) RAN and have no next generation core (NGC). After accessing to the access network of the 5G network, the electronic device  101  may access to an external network (e.g., Internet) under the control of a core network (e.g., an evolved packed core (EPC)) of the legacy network. LTE protocol information for communication with a legacy network or new radio (NR) protocol information for communication with a 5G network may be stored in the memory  130  to be accessed by the processor  120 , the first communication processor  212 , or the second communication processor  214 .

That is, the PCB  590  may have a first side  590   a  and a second side  590   b  shorter in length than the first side  590   a.

According to various embodiments, the first feeder  511  and the second feeder  512  disposed on the first virtual line L 1  and the second virtual line L 2 , respectively, may be affected by the same size (e.g., area) of the ground (e.g., a ground layer  5903  in  FIG. 6 ) disposed in the rectangular PCB  590 , thus exhibiting the substantially same radiation performance. 
       FIG. 6  is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A′ in  FIG. 5A  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Although an arrangement configuration of the first conductive patch  510  disposed in the PCB  590  of the antenna module  500  is shown in  FIG. 6  and will be described hereinafter, each of the second, third, and fourth conductive patches (e.g.,  520 ,  530 , and  540  in  FIG. 5A ) as well may have the substantially same arrangement configuration. 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , the antenna module  500  may include an antenna structure including the PCB  590  and the first conductive patch  510  disposed in the PCB  590 .

     According to various embodiments, the first conductive patch  510  may be disposed on a first insulating layer  5901   a  closer to the first surface  591  than the second surface  592  in the first layer region  5901 . According to an embodiment, the first conductive patch  510  may be disposed close to the first surface  591  in the first layer region  5901 . In another embodiment, the first conductive patch  510  may be disposed to be exposed to the first surface  591  in the first layer region  5901 . 
     According to various embodiments, the first conductive patch  510  may include, as described above, the first feeder  511  and the second feeder  512  which are disposed on virtual lines (e.g., the first virtual line L 1  and the second virtual line L 2  in  FIG. 5B ) each having a slope of a certain angle (e.g., an acute angle) with respect to the second virtual axis (e.g., the second axis X 2  in  FIG. 5B ) passing through the center (e.g., the center C in  FIG. 5B ) of the first conductive patch  510 .

According to an embodiment, each of the first feeder  511  and the second feeder  512  may include a conductive via disposed to penetrate the first layer region  5901  in a thickness direction of the PCB  590 .

       FIGS. 7A and 7B  are diagrams comparing radiation characteristics before and after a change in arrangement of two feeders of an antenna module according to various embodiments of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 7A and 7B ,  FIG. 7A  shows the radiation characteristics before a change in arrangement of two feeders of an antenna module, and  FIG. 7B  shows the radiation characteristics after a change in arrangement of two feeders of an antenna module. 
     Typically, one of a pair of feeders may be disposed on a first axis (e.g., the first axis X 1  in  FIG. 5B ) of a PCB (e.g., the PCB  590  in  FIG. 5B ), and the other feeder may be disposed on a second axis (e.g., the second axis X 2  in  FIG. 5B ) of the PCB. In this case, as shown in  FIG. 7A , a difference of about 0.8 dB may be caused between a gain (about 11.1 dB) by one feeder having a radiation pattern  701  and a gain (about 10.3 dB) by the other feeder having a radiation pattern  702 . 
     In contrast, according to the above-discussed embodiment, one of a pair of feeders (e.g., the first feeder  511 , the third feeder  521 , the fifth feeder  531 , or the seventh feeder  541  in  FIG. 5B ) may be disposed on a first virtual line (e.g., the first virtual line L 1  in  FIG. 5B ) having a slope of 45 degrees with respect to a second axis (e.g., the second axis X 2  in  FIG. 5B ) that passes through the center (e.g., the center C in  FIG. 5B ) of a conductive patch (e.g., the first conductive patch  510  in  FIG. 5B ), and the other feeder (e.g., the second feeder  512 , the fourth feeder  522 , the sixth feeder  532 , or the eighth feeder  542  in  FIG. 5B ) may be disposed on a second virtual line (e.g., the second virtual line L 2  in  FIG. 5B ) having a slope of −45 degrees with respect to the second axis. In this case, as shown in  FIG. 7B , a gain by one feeder having a radiation pattern  703  and a gain by the other feeder having a radiation pattern  704  have the substantially same value (e.g., about 10.68 dB). This means that the radiation performance of feeders  511 ,  521 ,  531 ,  541 ,  512 ,  522 ,  532 , and  542  having different polarization characteristics are the same. 
       FIGS. 8A to 8D  are plan views showing antenna modules  810 ,  820 ,  830 , and  840  having various arrangements of feeders according to various embodiments of the disclosure. 
     Each of the antenna modules  810 ,  820 ,  830 , and  840  shown in  FIGS. 8A to 8D  may be similar, at least in part, to the third antenna module  246  of  FIG. 2 , or may include other embodiments of the antenna module.

According to an embodiment, the conductive patches  811 ,  812 ,  813 , and  814  are disposed at regular intervals, and may include a first conductive patch  811  having a first feeder  8111  and a second feeder  8112 , a second conductive patch  812  having a third feeder  8121  and a fourth feeder  8122 , a third conductive patch  813  having a fifth feeder  8131  and a sixth feeder  8132 , and a fourth conductive patch  814  having a seventh feeder  8141  and an eighth feeder  8142 . 
     According to various embodiments, the first conductive patch  811  may include the first feeder  8111  and the second feeder  8112  disposed on the first virtual line L 1  and the second virtual line L 2 , respectively. According to an embodiment, both the first feeder  8111  and the second feeder  8112  may be disposed in a first area (e.g., a left area) with respect to a second axis X 2  (e.g., the second axis X 2  in  FIG. 5B ) passing through the center C of the first conductive patch  811 . According to an embodiment, the other conductive patches  812 ,  813 , and  814  as well may include feeders  8121 ,  8122 ,  8131 ,  8132 ,  8141 , and  8142  disposed in the substantially same manner. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8B , the antenna module  820  may include the first and second conductive patches  811  and  812  having feeders  8111 ,  8112 ,  8121 , and  8122  all of which are disposed in the first area with respect to the second axis X 2 . According to an embodiment, the antenna module  820  may further include the third and fourth conductive patches  813  and  814  having feeders  8133 ,  8134 ,  8143 , and  8144  all of which are disposed in a second area (e.g., a right area) opposite to the first area with respect to the second axis X 2 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 8C , the antenna module  830  may include the first and second conductive patches  811  and  812  having feeders  8113 ,  8114 ,  8123 , and  8124  all of which are disposed in the second area with respect to the second axis X 2 . According to an embodiment, the antenna module  830  may further include the third and fourth conductive patches  813  and  814  having feeders  8131 ,  8132 ,  8141 , and  8142  all of which are disposed in the first area with respect to the second axis X 2 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 8D , the antenna module  840  may include conductive patches  811 ,  812 ,  813 , and  814  each having four feeders  8111 ,  8112 ,  8113 , and  8114 ;  8121 ,  8122 ,  8123 , and  8124 ;  8131 ,  8132 ,  8133 , and  8134 ; or  8141 ,  8142 ,  8143 , and  8144  for dual polarized dual feeding. In this case, the first conductive patch  811  may include a pair of feeders  8111  and  8112  disposed in the first area with respect to the second axis X 2 , and also include another pair of feeders  8131  and  8114  disposed in the second area with respect to the second axis X 2 . According to an embodiment, the other conductive patches  812 ,  813 , and  814  as well may include feeders  8121 ,  8122 ,  8123 ,  8124 ,  8131 ,  8132 ,  8133 ,  8134 ,  8141 ,  8142 ,  8143 , and  8144  disposed in the substantially same manner. 
     According to various embodiments, positions of the feeders disposed on the virtual lines L 1  and L 2  in the conductive patch may be determined by considering a port configuration of a wireless communication circuit (e.g., the wireless communication circuit  595  in  FIG. 5B ) mounted below the PCB  890  or considering an arrangement structure of the antenna module in an electronic device. 
       FIG. 9  is a diagram illustrating an electronic device  900  where an antenna module  500  is mounted according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     The electronic device  900  of  FIG. 9  may be similar, at least in part, to the electronic device  300  of  FIG. 3A  or the electronic device  320  of  FIG. 3C , or may include other embodiments of the electronic device. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , the electronic device  900  may include a housing  910  that includes a front plate (e.g., a front plate  930  in  FIG. 10A ) facing a first direction (e.g., the −Z direction in  FIG. 10A ), a rear plate (e.g., a rear plate  940  in  FIG. 10A ) facing a second direction (e.g., the Z direction in  FIG. 10A ) opposite to the first direction, and a lateral member  920  surrounding an inner space  9001  between the front plate  930  and the rear plate  940 . According to an embodiment, the lateral member  920  may include a conductive portion  921  disposed at least in part and a polymer portion  922  (i.e., a non-conductive portion) insert-injected into the conductive portion  921 . In another embodiment, the polymer portion  922  may be replaced with a space or any other dielectric material. 
     According to various embodiments, the antenna module  500  may be mounted in the inner space  9001  of the electronic device  900  such that conductive patches (e.g., the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  in  FIG. 10B ) face the lateral member  920 . For example, the antenna module  500  may be mounted into a module mounting portion  9201  provided in the lateral member  920  such that the first surface  591  of the PCB  590  faces the lateral member  920 . According to an embodiment, at least a portion of the lateral member  920  facing the antenna module  500  may be formed as the polymer portion  922  such that a beam pattern is formed in a direction of the lateral member  920 . 
       FIG. 10A  is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B′ in  FIG. 9 , according to an embodiment of the disclosure and  FIG. 10B  is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C′ in  FIG. 9  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In particular,  FIG. 10B  shows the antenna module  500  seen from the outside of the lateral member  920  with the polymer portion  922  removed. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 10A and 10B , the PCB  590  of the antenna module  500  may be mounted in the module mounting portion  9201  of the lateral member  920  so as to overlap, at least in part, with the conductive portion  921  when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside. This may prevent an increase in thickness of the electronic device  900  due to the mounting of the PCB  590  and also allow the PCB  590  to be firmly mounted to the lateral member  920 . 
     According to various embodiments, the radiation characteristics of the antenna module  500  may vary according to a separation distance (d) from the conductive portion  921  and/or an overlap height (h) with the conductive portion  921 . According to an embodiment, even if the radiation characteristics of the antenna module  500  vary according to the separation distance (d) and/or the overlap height (h), the radiation performance by the feeders  511 ,  512 ,  521 ,  522 ,  531 ,  532 ,  541 , and  542  of the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  may be unvaried substantially. 
     According to various embodiments, when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside, at least a part of the PCB  590  may be disposed to overlap with the conductive portion  921 . According to an embodiment, when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside, the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  of the antenna module  500  may be disposed so as not to overlap with the conductive portion  921 . In another embodiment, when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside, the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  of the antenna module  500  may be disposed to at least partially overlap with the conductive portion  921 . In this case, when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside, the feeders  511 ,  512 ,  521 ,  522 ,  531 ,  532 ,  541 , and  542  may be disposed at positions that do not overlap with the conductive portion  921 . 
     According to various embodiments, as described above, the first and second feeders  511  and  512  of the first conductive patch  510  may be disposed on the first virtual line (e.g., the first virtual line L 1  in  FIG. 5B ) and the second virtual line (e.g., the second virtual line L 2  in  FIG. 5B ) in the first conductive patch  510 . According to an embodiment, in order to realize the substantially same radiation performance of the antenna module  500 , the first and second feeders  511  and  512  may be disposed such that a first vertical distance (h 1 ) between the first feeder  511  and the conductive portion  921  is substantially equal to a second vertical distance (h 2 ) between the second feeder  512  and the conductive portion  921 . According to an embodiment, the feeders  521 ,  522 ,  531 ,  532 ,  541 , and  542  disposed in the other conductive patches  520 ,  530 , and  540  may have the substantially same arrangement structure. 
       FIGS. 11A and 11B  are graphs showing reflection loss characteristics of two feeders (e.g., the first feeder  511  and the second feeder  512  in  FIG. 10B ) of an antenna module  500  in accordance with changes in an overlap height (h) between the conductive portion  921  and the antenna module  500  shown in  FIG. 10A  according to various embodiments of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 11A and 11B , as the overlap height (e.g., the overlap height (h) in  FIG. 10A ) between the PCB (e.g., the PCB  590  in  FIG. 10A ) and the conductive portion (e.g., the conductive portion  921  in  FIG. 10A ) increases when the lateral member (e.g., the lateral member  920  in  FIG. 10A ) is viewed from the outside, each operating frequency band of two feeders is shifted to a low frequency band. This may mean that, even if the overlap height (h) is changed, the radiation performance does not change rapidly at either of two feeders. That is, both feeders  511  and  512  may have the substantially same radiation performance. 
       FIGS. 12A and 12B  are graphs showing gain characteristics of two feeders (e.g., the first feeder  511  and the second feeder  512  in  FIG. 10B ) of an antenna module  500  in accordance with changes in an overlap height (h) between the conductive portion  921  and the antenna module  500  shown in  FIG. 10A  according to various embodiments of the disclosure. Referring to  FIGS. 12A and 12B ,  FIG. 12A  shows variations in a gain of a first polarized antenna through feeders (e.g., the feeders  511 ,  521 ,  531 , and  541  in  FIG. 10B ) configured to transmit and/or receive a first signal, and  FIG. 12B  shows variations in a gain of a second polarized antenna through feeders (e.g., the feeders  512 ,  522 ,  532 , and  542  in  FIG. 10B ) configured to transmit and/or receive a second signal. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 12A and 12B , as the overlap height (h) between the PCB  590  and the conductive portion  921  increases when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside, each gain of two feeders  511  and  512  may change somewhat (i.e., return loss). However, because the same gain change occurs at both feeders  511  and  512 , the feeders  511  and  512  may have the substantially same radiation performance. 
       FIGS. 13A and 13B  are tables showing gain characteristics of two feeders  511  and  512  of an antenna module  500  in accordance with changes in an overlap height (h) and a separation distance (d) between the conductive portion  921  and the antenna module  500  shown in  FIG. 10A  according to various embodiments of the disclosure. Referring to  FIGS. 13A and 13B, 13A  shows variations in a gain of a first polarized antenna through feeders (e.g., the feeders  511 ,  521 ,  531 , and  541  in  FIG. 10B ) configured to transmit and/or receive a first signal, and  FIG. 13B  shows variations in a gain of a second polarized antenna through feeders (e.g., the feeders  512 ,  522 ,  532 , and  542  in  FIG. 10B ) configured to transmit and/or receive a second signal. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 13A and 13B , as the overlap height (h) and the separation distance (d) between the PCB  590  and the conductive portion  921  are changed, a gain change that increases or decreases in a corresponding section has also the same pattern at two feeders  511  and  512 . This may mean that both feeders  511  and  512  may have the substantially same radiation performance. 
       FIG. 14  is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which an antenna module  500  is fixed to a lateral member  920  of an electronic device  900  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG. 14 , the electronic device  900  may include the antenna module  500  disposed on at least a part of the lateral member  920 . According to an embodiment, the antenna module  500  may include the PCB  590  and a plurality of conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  disposed on the PCB  590 . According to an embodiment, the PCB  590  may be disposed such that the first surface  591  on which the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  are disposed faces the lateral member  920 . According to an embodiment, the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  may be disposed at regular intervals along the length direction of the rectangular PCB  590  and may include the first conductive patch  510  having the first feeder  511  and the second feeder  512 , the second conductive patch  520  having the third feeder  521  and the fourth feeder  522 , the third conductive patch  530  having the fifth feeder  531  and the sixth feeder  532 , and the fourth conductive patch  540  having the seventh feeder  541  and the eighth feeder  542 . 
     According to various embodiments, the PCB  590  of the antenna module  500  may be disposed to at least partially overlap with the conductive portion  921  when the lateral member  920  is viewed from the outside. Thus, it may be advantageous for the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 ,  540  to be disposed away from the conductive portion  921 . According to an embodiment, the first conductive patch  510  may be disposed eccentrically in a vertical direction (e.g., in a direction of the second axis X 2  in  FIG. 5B ) on the first surface  591  of the PCB  590 .
