     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Various embodiments provide an antenna and an electronic device including the same. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     With the development of wireless communication technology, an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device for communication) is commonly used in daily life, and accordingly, the use of content is increasing exponentially. Due to the rapid increase in the use of content, network capacity is gradually reaching its limit, and after commercialization of a 4th generation (4G) communication system, a communication system (e.g., a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system, or a new radio (NR) communication system) which transmits and/or receives a signal by using a frequency in a high frequency (e.g., mmWave) band (e.g., 3 GHz to 300 GHz band) has been studied in order to satisfy an increasing demand for wireless data traffic. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION 
     Technical Problem 
     According to next-generation wireless communication technology, an efficient mounting structure, which enables use of a frequency in the range of substantially 3 GHz to 100 GHz for transmission and/or reception of a wireless signal and is capable of overcoming high free-space loss according to frequency characteristics and increasing the gain of an antenna, and a new antenna corresponding thereto are being developed. The antenna may include an antenna structure in the form of an array in which various numbers of antenna elements (e.g., conductive patches or conductive patterns) are arranged at predetermined intervals. Such antenna elements may be arranged such that a beam pattern is formed in one direction in an internal space of an electronic device. For example, the antenna structure may be arranged in the internal space of the electronic device such that a beam pattern is formed toward a direction in which at least a portion of a front surface, a rear surface, and/or a side surface of the antenna structure faces. 
     An electronic device may include a conductive member (e.g., a metal member) disposed in at least a portion of a housing (e.g., a housing structure) to reinforce rigidity and form a beautiful external appearance, and a non-conductive member (e.g., a polymer or injection-molded material) coupled with the conductive member. Such a housing may be formed as an integral structure through insert-injection of the non-conductive member into the conductive member or structural coupling between the non-conductive member and the conductive member. 
     However, when such a conductive member is disposed near an antenna structure, radiation performance of an antenna may be deteriorated, and radiation sensitivity thereof may be degraded. In addition, coupling portions of the conductive member and the non-conductive member may be separated from each other or dislocated by external impact, so as to degrade the product reliability. 
     Solution to Problem 
     Various embodiments may provide an antenna and an electronic device including the same. 
     Various embodiments may provide an antenna which can prevent deterioration of antenna radiation performance through a structural change of a housing, and an electronic device including the antenna. 
     Various embodiments may provide an antenna which can prevent damage to a housing due to external impact and prevent deterioration of antenna performance, and an electronic device including the antenna. 
     According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a housing including a side member including a conductive member and a non-conductive member coupled with the conductive member; and at least one antenna structure disposed in an internal space of the housing and including a substrate and at least one antenna element, the substrate being disposed to face the side member, and the at least one antenna element being disposed on the substrate and having a beam pattern formed through the non-conductive member, wherein: when the side member is viewed from the outside, a boundary region between the conductive member and the non-conductive member is disposed in a region not overlapping the substrate; in the boundary region, the conductive member includes at least one concave part formed to at least partially receive the non-conductive member; and the at least one concave part includes two or more stepped parts which gradually get higher or lower as the stepped parts are further leftward or rightward from the substrate, when the side member is viewed from the outside. 
     Various respective aspects and features of the invention are defined in the appended claims. Combinations of features from the dependent claims may be combined with features of the independent claims as appropriate and not merely as explicitly set out in the claims. 
     Furthermore, one or more selected features of any one embodiment described in this disclosure may be combined with one or more selected features of any other embodiment described herein, provided that the alternative combination of features at least partially alleviates the one or more technical problem discussed in this disclosure or at least partially alleviates a technical problem discernible by the skilled person from this disclosure and further provided that the particular combination or permutation of embodiment features thus formed would not be understood by the skilled person to be incompatible. 
     Two or more physically distinct components in any described example implementation of this disclosure may alternatively be integrated into a single component where possible, provided that the same function is performed by the single component thus formed. Conversely, a single component of any embodiment described in this disclosure may alternatively be implemented as two or more distinct components to achieve the same function, where appropriate. 
     It is an aim of certain embodiments of the invention to solve, mitigate or obviate, at least partly, at least one of the problems and/or disadvantages associated with the prior art. Certain embodiments aim to provide at least one of the advantages described below.

The connection terminal  178  may include, for example, a HDMI connector, a USB connector, a SD card connector, or an audio connector (e.g., a headphone connector). 
     The haptic module  179  may convert an electrical signal into a mechanical stimulus (e.g., a vibration or a movement) or electrical stimulus which may be recognized by a user via his tactile sensation or kinesthetic sensation. The haptic module  179  may include, for example, a motor, a piezoelectric element, or an electric stimulator. 
     The camera module  180  may capture an image or moving images. The camera module  180  may include one or more lenses, image sensors, image signal processors, or flashes.

     The communication module  190  may support establishing a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device  101  and the external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device  102 , the electronic device  104 , or the server  108 ) and performing communication via the established communication channel. The communication module  190  may include one or more communication processors that are operable independently from the processor  120  (e.g., the AP) and supports a direct (e.g., wired) communication or a wireless communication. The communication module  190  may include a wireless communication module  192  (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module  194  (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules may communicate with the external electronic device via the first network  198  (e.g., a short-range communication network, such as Bluetooth™, wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or the second network  199  (e.g., a long-range communication network, such as a cellular network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., LAN or wide area network (WAN)). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or may be implemented as multi components (e.g., multi chips) separate from each other. The wireless communication module  192  may identify and authenticate the electronic device  101  in a communication network, such as the first network  198  or the second network  199 , using subscriber information (e.g., international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the SIM  196 .

The antenna module  197  may include an antenna including a radiating element composed of a conductive material or a conductive pattern formed in or on a substrate (e.g., a printed circuit board (PCB)). The antenna module  197  may include a plurality of antennas. In such a case, at least one antenna appropriate for a communication scheme used in the communication network, such as the first network  198  or the second network  199 , may be selected, for example, by the communication module  190  (e.g., the wireless communication module  192 ) from the plurality of antennas. The signal or the power may then be transmitted or received between the communication module  190  and the external electronic device via the selected at least one antenna. Another component (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) other than the radiating element may be additionally formed as part of the antenna module  197 . 
     At least some of the above-described components may be coupled mutually and communicate signals (e.g., commands or data) therebetween via an inter-peripheral communication scheme (e.g., a bus, general purpose input and output (GPIO), serial peripheral interface (SPI), or mobile industry processor interface (MIPI)). 
     Commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device  101  and the external electronic device  104  via the server  108  coupled with the second network  199 . Each of the electronic devices  102  and  104  may be a device of a same type as, or a different type, from the electronic device  101 . All or some of operations to be executed at the electronic device  101  may be executed at one or more of the external electronic devices  102 ,  104 , or  108 . For example, if the electronic device  101  should perform a function or a service automatically, or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device  101 , instead of, or in addition to, executing the function or the service, may request the one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of the function or the service. The one or more external electronic devices receiving the request may perform the at least part of the function or the service requested, or an additional function or an additional service related to the request, and transfer an outcome of the performing to the electronic device  101 . The electronic device  101  may provide the outcome, with or without further processing of the outcome, as at least part of a reply to the request. To that end, a cloud computing, distributed computing, or client-server computing technology may be used, for example. 
     An electronic device according to an embodiment may be one of various types of electronic devices.

Upon reception, an RF signal may be obtained from the first cellular network  292  (e.g., legacy network) through an antenna (e.g., the first antenna module  242 ) and be preprocessed through an RFFE (e.g., the first RFFE  232 ). The first RFIC  222  may convert the preprocessed RF signal to a baseband signal so as to be processed by the first communication processor  212 . 
     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 an antenna (e.g., the second antenna module  244 ) and be pretreated through an RFFE (e.g., 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  (e.g., 5G network) through an antenna (e.g., the antenna  248 ) and be preprocessed through a 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 . According to one embodiment, the third RFFE  236  may be formed as part of the third RFIC  226 . 
     According to an embodiment, 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 6 RF signal. Upon reception, the 5G Above 6 RF signal may be received from the second cellular network  294  (e.g., a 5G network) through an antenna (e.g., 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 . 
     According to one embodiment, the first RFIC  222  and the second RFIC  224  may be implemented into at least part of a single package or a single chip. According to one embodiment, the first RFFE  232  and the second RFFE  234  may be implemented into at least part of a single package or a single chip. According to one embodiment, at least one of the first antenna module  242  or 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. 
     According to one embodiment, 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 PCB). In this case, 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) thereof; thus, the third antenna module  246  may be formed. 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, for example, 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  (e.g., 5G network). 
     According to one embodiment, 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, for example, 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  (e.g., 5G network) 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 core network (e.g., next generation core (NGC)). In this case, 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. Protocol information (e.g., LTE protocol information) for communication with a legacy network or protocol information (e.g., new radio (NR) protocol information) for communication with a 5G network may be stored in the memory  130  to be accessed by other components (e.g., the processor  120 , the first communication processor  212 , or the second communication processor  214 ).

The conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  may have substantially the same configuration. The antenna structure  500  according to an exemplary embodiment shows and describes the array antenna AR 1  including four conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540 , but is not limited thereto. For example, the antenna structure  500  may include one, two, or five or more conductive patches as the array antenna AR 1 . In another embodiment, the antenna structure may be replaced by a plurality of conductive patterns (e.g., dipole antenna radiators) arranged on the substrate  590 , or may further include the plurality of conductive patterns. In this case, the conductive patterns may be arranged such that a beam pattern direction of the conductive patterns is formed in a direction (e.g., a vertical direction) different from a beam pattern direction of the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530  and  540 . Although not shown, the antenna structure  500  may further include a protective member (e.g., urethane resin), as a protective means disposed to surround the wireless communication circuit  595  on the second surface  592  of the substrate  590 , and/or a conductive coating material (e.g., an EMI coating material), as an EMI shielding means applied to the outer surface of the protective member to shield noise.

FIG. 6B  is an assembled perspective view showing a state in which the support bracket  550  is applied to the antenna structure  500  according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 6A and 6B , an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device  300  of  FIG. 3A ) may include a support bracket  550  made of a conductive material, as a support means which is at least partially fixed to the antenna structure  500 . According to an embodiment, the support bracket  550  may be fixed to at least a portion of a first support member (e.g., a support member  3211  of  FIG. 7 ), and/or a conductive member (e.g., a conductive member  321  of  FIG. 7 ) of a housing (e.g., the housing  310  of  FIG. 3A ) in an internal space of the electronic device. According to an embodiment, the support bracket  550  may be physically in contact with the conductive member (e.g., the conductive member  321  of  FIG. 7 ) of a side member (e.g., a side member  320  of  FIG. 7 ), so as to help reinforce the rigidity of the antenna structure  500 . According to an embodiment, the support bracket  550  may be formed of a metal member, such as SUS, Cu, or Al, and thus may be used as a heat dissipation means for effectively transferring, to the outside, high-temperature heat emitted from the antenna structure  500 . 
     According to various embodiments, the support bracket  550  may include a first support part  551  which at least partially faces the substrate  590  (e.g., faces the side of the substrate  590 ), and a second support part  552  extending from the first support part  551  and bent to face another part of the substrate  590  (e.g., the second surface  592  of the substrate). According to an embodiment, the support bracket  550  may include one or more extension parts  5511  and  5512  extending from both ends of the first support part  551  to be fixed to at least a portion of the first support member (e.g., the support member  3211  of  FIG. 7 ), and/or the conductive member (e.g., the conductive member  321  of  FIG. 7 ) of the side member (e.g., the side member  320  of  FIG. 7 ). According to an embodiment, the one or more extension parts  5511  and  5512  may be formed to extend in opposite directions of the support bracket  550 , respectively. In another embodiment, the one or more extension parts  5511  and  5512  may extend from the second support part  552 . Therefore, the antenna structure  500  may be supported by the first support part  551  and the second support part  552  of the support bracket  550 , and fixed to at least a portion of the first support member (e.g., the support member  3211  of  FIG. 7 ), and/or the conductive member (e.g., the conductive member  321  of  FIG. 7 ) of the side member (e.g., the side member  320  of  FIG. 7 ), through the one or more extension parts  5511  and  5512 , by a fastening member such as a screw, as a fastening means. 
       FIG. 7  is a partial cross-sectional view of an electronic device  300 , taken along line A-A′ of  FIG. 3B , according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 7 , the electronic device  300  may include a housing  310  (e.g., a housing structure) including a front cover  302  (e.g., a first cover, a first plate, a front plate, or a transparent cover) facing a first direction (−z-axis direction), a rear cover  311  (e.g., a second cover, a second plate, or a rear plate) facing the opposite direction (z-axis direction) to the front cover  302 , and a side member  320  surrounding a space  3001  between the front cover  302  and the rear cover  311 . According to an embodiment, the side member  320  may include a conductive member  321  (e.g., a metal member) which is at least partially disposed, and a non-conductive member  322  (e.g., a polymer) (e.g., a first non-conductive member) coupled to the conductive member  321 . In another embodiment, the non-conductive member  322  may be replaced by the space or another dielectric material. In an embodiment, the non-conductive member  322  may be insert-injected into the conductive member  321 . In another embodiment, the non-conductive member  322  may be structurally coupled to the conductive member  321 . According to an embodiment, the side member  320  may include a support member  3211  (e.g., the first support member  3211  of  FIG. 3C ) (e.g., a second non-conductive member) as a support means extending from the side member  320  up to at least a portion of the internal space  3001 . According to an embodiment, the support member  3211  may extend from the side member  320  to the internal space  3001  or may be formed by a structural coupling with the side member  320 . According to an embodiment, the support member  3211  may extend from the conductive member  321 . According to an embodiment, the support member  3211  may support at least a portion of the antenna structure  500  disposed in the internal space  3001 . According to an embodiment, the support member  3211  may be disposed to support at least a portion of a display  301  which is a display means. According to an embodiment, the display  301  may be disposed to be visible from the outside through at least a portion of the front cover  302 . According to an embodiment, the display  301  may include a flexible display. 
     According to various embodiments, the antenna structure  500  may be disposed in a direction perpendicular to the front cover  302  in the internal space  3001  of the electronic device  300  through the support bracket  550 . According to an embodiment, the antenna structure  500  may be mounted such that an array antenna AR 1  including conductive patches (e.g., the conductive patches  510 ,  520 ,  530 , and  540  of  FIG. 5A ) faces the side member  320 . For example, the antenna structure  500  may be disposed such that the first surface  591  of the substrate  590  faces the side member  320 , so that the array antenna AR 1  may form a beam pattern in a direction (e.g., {circle around (1)} direction) that the side member  320  of the electronic device  300  faces. According to an embodiment, the array antenna AR 1  may form a beam pattern in the direction (e.g., {circle around (1)} direction) that the side member  320  faces, through the non-conductive member  322  of the side member  320 . According to an embodiment, the electronic device  300  may include a device substrate  340  (e.g., the printed circuit board  340  of  FIG. 3C ) (e.g., a main substrate) disposed in the internal space  3001 . According to an embodiment, although not shown, the antenna structure  500  may be electrically connected to the device substrate  340  through an electrical connector (e.g., an FPCB connector) as an electrical connection means. 
       FIG. 8  is a sectional view, taken along line B-B′ of  FIG. 3B , showing a partial configuration of an electronic device according to various embodiments. 
     In  FIG. 8  illustrating a rear cover (e.g., the rear cover  311  of  FIG. 7 ) viewed from above, only the conductive member  321  is observed while the non-conductive member  322  is substantially hidden, although the non-conductive member is given a reference numeral for comparison between areas of the non-conductive member and the conductive member  321 . The non-conductive member  322  may be a non-conductive member made of a polymer, and may be coupled with the conductive member  321 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , the side member  320  may include the non-conductive member  322  (e.g., a polymer) disposed in a region where a beam pattern formed from the antenna structure  500  is radiated. According to an embodiment, the non-conductive member  322  may be insert-injected into the surrounding conductive member  321 . According to an embodiment, a boundary region between the non-conductive member  322  and the conductive member  321  may be disposed near the antenna structure  500 . According to an embodiment, after the conductive member  321  and the non-conductive member  322  are coupled to each other, the boundary region may have a coupling structure in which the conductive member and the non-conductive member are not separated from each other by external impact. According to an embodiment, when the side member  320  is viewed from the outside, the boundary region may be disposed at least at a position not overlapping the antenna structure  500 . For example, the conductive member  321  may include a concave part  3221  concavely formed in a direction away from the substrate  590  in the boundary region with the non-conductive member  322 , and including one or more stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c . According to an embodiment, the non-conductive member  322  may be filled in the concave part  3221  through insert injection, and thus formed as a part of the side member  320  of the electronic device  300 . In another embodiment, the substrate  590  may further have at least one other electrical element mounted thereon in addition to the array antenna AR 1 , and in this case, the length of the substrate  590  may become longer. For example, when at least one electrical element is further mounted on the substrate  590 , the concave part  3221  formed by the one or more stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c  in the boundary region between the conductive member  321  and the non-conductive member  322  does not overlap the array antenna AR 1 , and may gradually get higher or lower as the concave part is further leftward or rightward from the array antenna AR 1 . In this case, when the side member is viewed from the outside, the concave part  3221  does not overlap the array antenna AR 1 , but may at least partially overlap the substrate  590 . According to various embodiments, when the side member  320  is viewed from the outside, the concave part  3221  may include a plurality of stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c  which are formed to gradually get higher or lower as the stepped parts are further from the substrate  590  in left-right directions of the antenna structure  500 . According to an embodiment, the plurality of stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c  may be formed to become higher along a direction toward the rear cover (e.g., the rear cover  311  of  FIG. 7 ). For example, the plurality of stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c  may include a first stepped part  3221   a  disposed closest to the substrate  590 , a second stepped part  3221   b  extending higher from the first stepped part  3221   a , and a third stepped part  3221   c  extending higher from the second stepped part  3221   b . According to an embodiment, the concave part  3221  may be formed such that an angle θ formed by a first virtual line L 1  connecting the first stepped part  3221   a , the second stepped part  3221   b , and the third stepped part  3221   c , and a second virtual line L 2  formed perpendicularly in an outward direction of the side member  320  from both ends (e.g., a shorter side  593 ) of the substrate  590  has a range of about 30° to 60°. In another embodiment, four or more stepped parts may be formed. According to an embodiment, when the side member  320  is viewed from the outside, the antenna structure  500  may smoothly form a beam pattern through the concave part  3221  including the plurality of stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c  extending in different heights from each other in a left-right direction of the substrate  590 . In addition, since the side member  320  has an extended contact area with the non-conductive member  322  through the plurality of stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c , at the time of insert injection, the side member can induce an enhanced binding force, and thus can be assisted in reinforcing the rigidity. 
       FIG. 9  illustrates an arrangement relationship of an antenna structure  500  in an electronic device according to various embodiments. 
     An electronic device  900  of  FIG. 9  may be at least partially similar to the electronic device  101  of  FIG. 1  or the electronic device  300  of  FIG. 3A , or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , the electronic device  900  (e.g., the electronic device  300  of  FIG. 7 ) may include a side member  910  (e.g., the side member  320  of  FIG. 7 ). According to an embodiment, the side member  910  may include a first side  911  having a first length, a second side  912  extending in a vertical direction from the first side  911  and having a second length shorter than the first length, a third side  913  extending parallel to the first side  911  from the second side  912  and having the first length, and a fourth side  914  extending from the third side  913 , having the second length, and connected to the first side. 
     According to various embodiments, the electronic device  900  may include a pair of antenna structures  500  and  500 - 1  arranged in an internal space thereof. According to an embodiment, each of the pair of antenna structures  500  and  500 - 1  may have substantially the same configuration as the antenna structure  500  of  FIG. 5 . According to an embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 8 , each of the pair of antenna structures  500  and  500 - 1  may have an arrangement structure which is substantially the same as an arrangement structure facing the non-conductive member  322  coupled to the concave part  3221  formed in the conductive member  321 . According to an embodiment, when external impact is applied, the rigidity of the side member  910  may be weakened by a partial arrangement of the non-conductive member  322 , or permanent deformation (e.g., distortion) of the side member may occur. Accordingly, the pair of antenna structures  500  and  500 - 1  may have an arrangement structure to minimize deformation of the side member  910 . For example, one antenna structure  500  of the pair of antenna structures  500  and  500 - 1  may be disposed at a first point adjacent to the first side  911 . According to an embodiment, the other antenna structure  500 - 1  may be disposed at a second point of the third side  913  which is diagonally symmetrical to the first point. In another embodiment, the pair of antenna structures  500  and  500 - 1  may be disposed at points diagonally symmetrical to each other on the second side  912  and the fourth side  914  opposite thereto, respectively. In another embodiment, when the electronic device  900  includes two or more antenna structures, the antenna structures may be disposed at points of the first side  911 , the second side  912 , the third side  913 , and the fourth side  914 , the points being diagonally symmetrical to each other, respectively. 
       FIGS. 10A and 10B  illustrate a comparison between radiation areas of the antenna structure  500  before and after formation of the concave part  3221 , according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 10A and 10B , it can be seen that a radiation area formed from the antenna structure  500  extends outwards from the antenna structure  500  more than in the case of  FIG. 10A  in which the concave part  3221  does not exist, and the radiation area is further increased in the case of  FIG. 10B  including the concave part  3221  for receiving the non-conductive member  322 , which may mean that the radiation performance of the antenna structure  500  is improved. 
       FIG. 11  is a partial perspective view of an electronic device showing a state in which the antenna structure  500  is disposed, according to various embodiments.  FIG. 12A  is a partial cross-sectional view of the electronic device  300 , taken along line C-C′ of  FIG. 11 , according to various embodiments. 
     In explaining  FIGS. 11 and 12A , the same reference numerals are assigned to the same components of the electronic device  300  including the above-described antenna structure  500  and side member  320 , and detailed description thereof may be omitted. 
     In  FIG. 11  illustrating a rear cover (e.g., the rear cover  311  of  FIG. 7 ) viewed from above, only the conductive member  321  is observed while the non-conductive member  322  is substantially hidden, although the non-conductive member is given a reference numeral for comparison between areas of the non-conductive member and the conductive member  321 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 11 and 12A , the side member  320  may include the conductive member  321 , and a first non-conductive member  322  (e.g., an injection-molded material) (e.g., the non-conductive member  322  of  FIG. 8 ) coupled to the conductive member  321  and disposed in a region facing the substrate  590  of the antenna structure  500 . 
     According to various embodiments, the side member  320  may include at least one through-hole  3222  formed in at least a portion of a region facing the front cover  302  and disposed such that the first non-conductive member  322  extends. According to an embodiment, the first non-conductive member  322  may be disposed to be exposed to the outer surface of the side member  320  through the at least one through-hole  3222 . According to an embodiment, the at least one through-hole  3222  may be disposed to at least partially face a space between the display  301  and the conductive member  321 . Accordingly, a beam pattern generated from the antenna structure  500  may be radiated through the at least one through-hole  3222 . According to an embodiment, the number of the at least one through-hole  3222  may be determined through at least one conductive connection part  3223  as a connection means connected to cross one through-hole  3222 . For example, as shown, the at least one through-hole  3222  may include two through-holes  3222  when one conductive connection part  3223  is formed. In another embodiment, the at least one through-hole  3222  may include three through-holes  3222  when two conductive connection parts  3223  are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval. In an embodiment, one through-hole  3222  may be formed without a conductive connection part  3223 . 
     According to various embodiments, a total length M 1  (e.g., a first injection region filling a through-hole) including a through-hole  3222  may be formed to be shorter than a total length M 2  of the first non-conductive member  322  including the concave part  3221 . In another embodiment, the total length M 1  (e.g., the first injection region filling the through-hole) of the through-hole  3222  may be formed to be the same as or longer than the total length M 2  of the first non-conductive member  322  including the concave part  3221  according to a beam shape and/or a radial direction of a beam pattern through the through-hole. 
     According to various embodiments, the at least one through-hole  3222  may include one or more flanges  3222   a  and  3222   b  as a support means at least partially extending from an edge of the through-hole  3222  toward a central direction of the through-hole  3222 . According to an embodiment, the one or more flanges  3222   a  and  3222   b  may be formed to have a thickness equal to or smaller than a thickness of the conductive member  321 . According to an embodiment, the one or more flanges  3222   a  and  3222   b  may extend from edges facing each other of the through-hole toward the center of the through-hole. The one or more flanges  3222   a  and  3222   b  may strengthen a coupling force of the first non-conductive member  322  which is insert-injected up to the through-hole  3222 , and may help reinforce the rigidity of the side member  320 . 
     According to various embodiments, the side member  320  may include a second non-conductive member  3211  (e.g., the first support member  3211  of  FIG. 3C ) extending from the conductive member  321  to the internal space  3001  of the electronic device  300 . According to an embodiment, the second non-conductive member  3211  may be formed of a different material from the first non-conductive member  322 . According to an embodiment, the first non-conductive member  322  may be formed of a dielectric material having a low dielectric constant that can help improve radiation performance of the antenna structure  500 , and the second non-conductive member  3211  may be formed of a reinforced synthetic resin material for reinforcing the rigidity. In another embodiment, the second non-conductive member  3211  may be formed of the same material as that of the first non-conductive member  322 . In this case, the second non-conductive member  3211  may be formed together when the first non-conductive member  322  is insert-injected into the conductive member  321 . 
       FIG. 12B  is a partial cross-sectional view of the side member  320 , taken along line D-D′ of  FIG. 11 , according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 12B , the side member  320  may include the first non-conductive member  322  which is insert-injected into the conductive member  321 . According to an embodiment, the conductive member  321  may include the concave part  3221  including a plurality of stepped parts (e.g., the plurality of stepped parts  3221   a ,  3221   b , and  3221   c  of  FIG. 8 ) having different heights in a boundary region with the first non-conductive member  322 . According to an embodiment, the conductive member  321  may have, as a recess structure recessed inward, at least one insertion groove  3224  formed around the concave part  3221 . According to an embodiment, the at least one insertion groove  3224  may receive the first non-conductive member  322  to expand a contact surface, and thus help reinforce the rigidity of the side member  320 . 
       FIG. 12C  illustrates the side member  320  of the electronic device  300  showing a state in which a non-conductive member  322 - 1  or  322 - 2  is coupled to the conductive member  321 , according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 12C , the electronic device  300  may include the conductive member  321  and one or more non-conductive members  322 - 1  and  322 - 2  insert-injected into or coupled to the conductive member  321 . The electronic device  300  may include a first collective length  1201 , and a second collective length  1202 . In addition, the electronic device  300  may include a third collective length  1203 , and a fourth collective length  1204 . According to an embodiment, the one or more non-conductive members  322 - 1  and  322 - 2  may include a first non-conductive member  322 - 1  disposed around the antenna structure  500 , and a second non-conductive member  322 - 2  disposed in the other region. According to an embodiment, the first non-conductive member  322 - 1  and the second non-conductive member  322 - 2  may be formed of different materials or the same material. According to an embodiment, the one or more non-conductive members  322 - 1  and  322 - 2  may be arranged to have different injection amounts for each region according to a radial direction of the antenna structure  500 . For example, as shown, when a beam pattern is formed in a direction in which a rear cover (e.g., the rear cover  311  of  FIG. 7 ) or the side member  320  faces, the antenna structure  500  may be disposed such that the injection amount of the rear or side surface is greater than the injection amount of other regions. An example of varying amounts of injection may be seen in view of the first collective length  1201 , the second collective length  1202 , the third collective length  1203 , and the fourth collective length  1204 . 
       FIG. 13  illustrates a partial configuration of a side member having a plurality of through-holes formed therethrough, according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 13 , the side member  320  may include at least one through-hole  3222 . According to an embodiment, the number of the at least one through-hole  3222  may be determined through at least one conductive connection part  3223  crossing the through-hole  3222 . For example, as shown, four through-holes  3222  may be formed through three conductive connection parts  3223   a ,  3223   b , and  3223   c  which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval. 
       FIG. 14A  is a graph showing a comparison of performance of an antenna structure according to the number of through-holes in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, according to various embodiments, and  FIG. 14B  is a graph showing a comparison of performance of an antenna structure according to the number of through-holes in a first frequency band and a second frequency band, according to various embodiments. 
       FIG. 14A  is a graph showing a cumulative distribution function (CDF) characteristic of the antenna structure  500  according to the number of through-holes  3222  in an n261 band (about a 28 GHz band) which is a first frequency band, and  FIG. 14B  is a graph showing a CDF characteristic of the antenna structure  500  according to the number of through-holes  3222  in an n260 band (about a 39 GHz band), which is a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 14A and 14B  and Table 1 below, it can be seen that, in a CDF 0.2 section (an S1 section and an S4 section), a CDF 0.5 section (an S2 section and an S5 section), and a CDF 0.8 section (an S3 section and an S6 section), in the case of having two through-holes  3222  formed by one conductive connection part  3223  (e.g., in the case of  FIG. 11 ) (hole+RIB1), a gain is improved more than in the case of having no through-hole (default) or in the case of having four through-holes  3222  formed by three conductive connection parts  3223   a ,  3223   b , and  3223   c  (hole+RIB3). This may mean that when a through-hole  3222  is present, the smaller the number of through-holes, the better the performance of the antenna structure.
