Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) 
     This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/789,729 filed on Feb. 13, 2020, which is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0019468, filed on Feb. 19, 2019, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     One or more embodiments of the instant disclosure generally relate to an electronic device including an antenna structure. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     Advancements in wireless protocols have been made to more efficiently transceive information associated with functions or services of electronic devices. For example, recently, implementation of the next generation mobile communication technology using signals in ultrahigh frequency bands called fifth generation (5G) has begun. Under the 5G protocol, high-speed and large capacity data transmission is possible due to the use of millimeter wave (mmWave) bands. The 5G protocol is promulgated by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP). 
     Electronic devices supporting 5G may include an antenna structure disposed within that supports 5G. For example, the antenna structure may employ metallic structure (or coupled to at least a portion of the housing) corresponding to at least a portion of a housing as a radiator, and may be disposed in an area adjacent to the housing so as to ensure signal transmission/reception efficiency in accordance with signal characteristics (e.g., directionality) of the mmWave band. 
     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 
     In arranging the structure of the antenna structure, a non-conductive structure may be disposed between the antenna structure and the housing to physically support the housing and/or to prevent moisture from being introduced onto the antenna structure. The non-conductive structure may be designed to have the shape corresponding to the shape of the housing at one area thereof (e.g., the area facing the housing) and a shape for avoiding the antenna structure at another area thereof (e.g., the area opposite to the housing). Due to its potentially irregular shape, the dielectric characteristic of the non-conductive structure may not be constant. Therefore, when signals radiated from the antenna structure are applied to the non-conductive structure, the radiated signals are affected by the variable dielectric characteristic of the non-conductive structure, and thus signal performance may be degraded. 
     Aspects of the disclosure are to address at least the above-mentioned problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. 
     In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, an electronic device may include a housing including a first plate having an external surface facing in a first direction, a second plate having an external surface facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side member surrounding a first space between the first plate and the second plate and coupled to the second plate or integrated with the second plate, a support member coupled to the side member or integrated with the side member, interposed between the first plate and the second plate, and including a metallic structure, an antenna structure interposed between the first plate and the support member, mounted on the support member, including a first surface facing in a third direction toward the side member, and including at least one antenna pattern configured to output a directional beam facing in the third direction, a polymer structure disposed in a second space surrounded by the first plate, the support member, the side member, and the first surface of the antenna structure, and coupled to the metallic structure, and a wireless communication circuitry electrically connected with the antenna pattern to transmit and/or receive a signal having a frequency between 3 GHz and 100 GHz. 
     In accordance with another aspect of the disclosure, the coupled metallic structure and polymer structure may include at least one groove bounded by the first surface, a second surface on the polymer structure forming an acute angle with the first surface, and a third surface substantially perpendicular to the second surface. 
     Other aspects, advantages, and salient features of the disclosure will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, which, taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings, discloses various embodiments of the disclosure.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Accordingly, an aspect of the disclosure is to provide an electronic device where influence exerted on signals radiated from an antenna structure is minimized. This may be done by modifying an electronic device structure adjacent to the antenna structure. 
     Hereinafter, various embodiments of the disclosure may be described with reference to accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the disclosure is not limited to a specific embodiment, and modifications, equivalents, and/or alternatives on the various embodiments described herein can be variously made without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. 
       FIG. 1  is a view illustrating a rear surface of an electronic device according to an embodiment. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , an electronic device  100  may include a housing that defines the body of the electronic device  100  or at least a portion of the outer appearance of the electronic device  100 . According to an embodiment, the housing may include a first plate  111  (or rear plate) facing in a first direction, a second plate  112  (or front plate or cover glass) facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a side member  113  disposed in at least a portion between edges of the first plate  111  and the second plate  112  to surround the space between the first plate  111  and the second plate  112 . The first plate  111 , the second plate  112 , and the side member  113  are coupled to each other in at least one area thereof to form the housing. An inner space of the electronic device  100  is encapsulated by the first plate  111 , the second plate  112 , and the side member  113 . In this regard, one area of the edge of the first plate  111  is curved with a specific curvature to extend in the second direction. In correspondence to the first plate  111 , one area of the edge of the second plate  112  is curved with a curvature identical to or similar to the specific curvature of the first plate  111  to extend in the first direction. In an embodiment, the side member  113  may be integrated with the second plate  112  and included as a portion of the second plate  112 . In this case, the housing of the electronic device  100  may be formed by coupling of the first plate  111  and the second plate  112 . 
     In an embodiment, at least one component of the electronic device  100  may be disposed in the inner space of the housing of the electronic device  100 . For example, a battery  120  that supplies power to various components of the electronic device  100  may be mounted in the inner space of the housing. In addition, an antenna structure supporting 5G mobile communication of the electronic device  100  may be, depending on the structure of the electronic device, mounted in a cavity area  130  formed adjacent to the mounting area of the battery  120 . For example, the cavity area  130  may be located at the lower part of the right edge of the electronic device  100  when the electronic device  100  is viewed in the second direction with the first plate  111  removed. According to various other embodiments, the above-described mounting area of the antenna structure is provided according to one embodiment, and the electronic device  100  may further include at least one other antenna structure in various other areas. 
     According to an embodiment, the structure of the electronic device  100  with the cavity area  130  may be modified to support the operation of the antenna structure mounted in the cavity area  130  (e.g., radiating signals at a specific frequency band). For example, the structure of the electronic device  100  facing at least a portion of the antenna structure may function as a medium for the signals radiated from the antenna structure. Accordingly, the shape of the structure of the electronic device  100  may be modified to have a relatively constant dielectric characteristic in order to minimize the influence exerted on the radiated signals. Hereinafter, the structure of the electronic device  100  for supporting signal radiation of the antenna structure will be described with reference to accompanying drawings. 
       FIG. 2A  is a perspective view illustrating the arrangement space of an antenna structure of an electronic device according to a first embodiment, and  FIG. 2B  is a sectional view of the electronic device taken along A-A′ according to the first embodiment. In  FIG. 2A , for illustration purposes, the first plate  111  is removed. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 2A and 2B , the cavity area  130  corresponding to the arrangement space of an antenna structure  140  is formed in the inner space of the housing of the electronic device  100 . A support member  150  and a polymer structure  160  may be disposed in the inner space of the housing to define at least some surfaces or edges of the cavity area  130 . According to an embodiment, the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  may replace certain portions of the side member  113 , or may be coupled to or integrated with the side member  113  to form a portion of the side member  113 . 
     According to different embodiments, the support member  150  may be coupled to one area of the side member  113  or may be formed integrally with the side member  113 . The support member  150  may extend inward into the inner space of the housing between, and may have a step  152  formed in one portion of the extended section. In addition, one end of the support member  150  extending from the step  152  may be bent at a specific angle (e.g. at a substantially right angle as shown in  FIG. 2B ) toward the first plate  111  to form the rib  151 . According to various different embodiments, the step  152  and a rib  151  may be formed through various processes. For example, the step  152  and the rib  151  may be coupled onto the support member  150  by welding. In the welding process of the step  152  and the rib  151 , the gap between the step  152  and the rib  151  may be determined based on the width or the thickness of the antenna structure  140 . According to one embodiment, the rib  151  may define the edge of the space in which the battery  120  is disposed in one direction, and the edge of the cavity area  130  in which the antenna structure  140  is disposed in an opposite direction. In other words, the rib  151  corresponding to one end of the support member  150  may separate the space in which the battery  120  is to be disposed from the space in which the antenna structure  140  is to be disposed. 
     In one embodiment, the antenna structure  140  may be interposed in the space between the support member  150  and the first plate  111 . For example, in the antenna structure  140 , at least a portion of a first surface  10  associated with forming a directional beam makes contact with the step  152  while facing the side member  113  (or the third direction of  FIG. 1 ). At the same time, at least a portion of a second surface  20 , which is opposite the first surface  10 , may be installed (or mounted) on the support member  150  to make contact with the rib  151 . Accordingly, a portion of the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140  is supported or fixed by the step  152  of the support member  150 , and at least a portion of the second surface  20  may be supported or fixed to the rib  151  of the support member  150 . 
     In one embodiment, the antenna structure  140  installed (or mounted) on the support member  150  may include at least one antenna element. The at least one antenna element may include, for example, a shielding member  141  (e.g., a shield can) and a printed circuit board  143  having at least one dipole antenna pattern and at least one patch antenna pattern. In one embodiment, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) and a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) may be disposed inside the shielding member  141 . The antenna structure  140  may form a directional beam by performing beamforming in a direction (e.g., the third direction of  FIG. 1 ) corresponding to the side member  113  and/or a direction (e.g., the first direction of  FIG. 1 ) corresponding to the first plate  111  by using the at least one antenna element. In this regard, the support member  150  may include a structure to support beamforming by the antenna structure  140 . For example, the support member  150  may include a metallic structure in at least a portion thereof to function as a radiator of the antenna structure  140 . In addition, the first plate  111  may include a metallic structure in at least a portion thereof to function as a radiator of the antenna structure  140 . 
     In an embodiment, the polymer structure  160  may be disposed in a space formed by the side member  113 , the support member  150 , the antenna structure  140 , and the first plate  111 . For example, on a specific section of the side member  113  corresponding to the cavity area  130 , part of the polymer structure  160  is coupled to the side member  113 , and another part of the polymer structure  160  may be disposed to be coupled to the support member  150  (or the metallic structure included in the support member  150 ). According to an embodiment, one area of the polymer structure  160  is implemented in a shape corresponding to the shape of the edge of the first plate  111  curved with a specific curvature to make contact with the edge of the first plate  111 . In addition, another area of the polymer structure  160  may make contact with the edge of the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140  installed (or mounted) on the support member  150 . Accordingly, the polymer structure  160  may support at least the first plate  111  and the antenna structure  140 . In addition, the polymer structure  160  may block moisture from being introduced onto the antenna structure  140  from outside the device. According to an embodiment, at least one metal pattern may be disposed on a portion of the polymer structure  160 , and the antenna structure  140  may use the at least one metal pattern on the polymer structure  160  as a radiator. 
     According to an embodiment, after the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  are coupled to each other, parts of the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  may be removed. This may be done by partly removing (or cutting out) the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  using a machining tool with a specific inclination. The removal may be done prior to seating the first plate  111 , the battery  120 , and the antenna structure  140  in the electronic device  100 . According to an embodiment, the specific inclination of the machining tool may be designed such that, when portions of the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  are removed, a third surface  30  formed in the polymer structure  160  forms an acute angle with respect to the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140 . In addition, the machining tool may be, for example, designed to be applied at a specific depth by the head end of the machining tool such that a fourth surface  40  is formed on the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  when coupled to each other. The proportion of the portions of the fourth surface  40  disposed on the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  depends on where the fourth surface  40  meets the boundary between the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 . 
     According to an embodiment, through the process of partly removing the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  when they are coupled to each other, at least one groove  170  may be formed in the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 . The groove  170  may be defined by at least the third surface  30  and the fourth surface  40  substantially perpendicular to the third surface  30 . According to an embodiment, the at least one groove  170  may be referred to as an air gap because it represents a space where nothing is disposed. 
     In an embodiment, by creating this air gap, the width or thickness of the polymer structure  160  from the third surface  30  to the edge of the polymer structure  160  making contact with the edge of the first plate  111  may be relatively uniform. In this regard, when the width or thickness in this portion of the polymer structure  160  is uniform, the dielectric characteristic of the polymer structure  160  may be relatively constant, which may minimize the influence exerted on signals radiated from the adjacent antenna structure  140 . In addition, the air contained in the at least one groove  170  may also minimize the influence exerted on the signals radiated from the adjacent antenna structure  140 . 
     According to an embodiment, a display  180  may be disposed under the battery  120  and the support member  150  in the inner space of the housing of the electronic device  100 . According to an embodiment, the display  180  may be at least partly flexible such that its shape corresponds to the curved shape of the second plate  112 . 
       FIG. 3  is a sectional view of an electronic device according to a second embodiment, and  FIG. 4  is a sectional view of an electronic device according to a third embodiment.  FIGS. 3 and 4  may illustrate the electronic devices in which the first plate  111  (see  FIG. 1 ), the second plate  112  (see  FIG. 1 ), and a side member  113  (see  FIG. 1 ) are coupled to each other. The cross sections may be taken along direction A-A′ illustrated in  FIG. 1 . Corresponding components of the electronic device  100  in  FIGS. 1-4  share the same element numerals, and duplicated descriptions thereof will be omitted below. Accordingly, referring to  FIGS. 3 and 4 , it can be understood that the components assigned with the same reference numerals as those in  FIGS. 1-2B  have the same structure or functional features unless otherwise specified. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , the at least one groove  171  formed in the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 , when they are coupled to each other, may have various shapes depending on how parts of the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  are removed through the air gap-creating process. That is, the machining tool used in the creation of the at least one groove  171  may include heads of various shapes. For example, the head of the machining tool may have a conical shape where the end is inclined with a specific inclination. In this case, the shape of the at least one groove  171  may be defined by the third surface  30  of the polymer structure  160  forming an acute angle with respect to the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140 , and a fifth surface  50  and a sixth surface  60  formed corresponding to the conical shape of the end of the machining tool. In an embodiment, in the cross section shown in  FIG. 3 , the fifth surface  50  may form an obtuse angle with respect to the third surface  30 , and the sixth surface  60  may form an acute angle with respect to the third surface  30 . According to an embodiment, the machining tool may be designed be applied to a specific depth such that the fifth surface  50  is disposed on parts of the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 . 
     According to an embodiment, the shape of the at least one groove  171  as described above may be modified depending on testing how the at least one groove  171  affects signals radiated from the antenna structure  140 . For example, using machining tool with variously-shaped heads, grooves having various shapes may be formed in the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 , and signal radiation performance of the antenna structure  140  can be measured with respect to the variously-shaped grooves. The groove with the best performance may be selected. Through this operation, the mechanical stiffness of a particular surface formed by the at least one groove (e.g., the surface including the boundary of the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 ) is additionally considered, so the optimal shape of the at least one groove may be determined. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , in another embodiment, at least one groove  172 , which is open in at least one direction (e.g., a direction opposite to the third direction of  FIG. 1  and/or the first direction of  FIG. 1 ), may be formed in the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 . This type of groove  172  may be realized by applying the machining tool in the direction facing the second plate  112  (e.g., the second direction of  FIG. 1 ), such that portions of the polymer structure  160  and the support member  150  making contact with the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140  are removed (or cut out) by a specific width or a specific thickness. As shown in  FIG. 4 , in one embodiment, all of the portion of the polymer structure  160  making contact with the first surface  10  is removed, while only a step cut-out is made in the support member  150 , such that a portion of the support member  150  is still making contact with the first surface  10 . Accordingly, the polymer structure  160  may include a seventh surface  70  formed by removal of the above-mentioned portion of the polymer structure  160  making contact with the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140 . The seventh surface  70  may be spaced apart from the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140  by a distance corresponding to the removed width or thickness. 
     According to an embodiment, within the housing of the electronic device  100  there may be a battery support member  190  to support the battery  120  disposed closely to the antenna structure  140  while the rib  151  is between the antenna structure  140  and the battery  120 . For example, the battery support member  190  may be coupled (e.g., welded) to one area of the support member  150  extending inward of the housing, between the first plate  111  and the second plate  112 . Alternatively, the battery support member  190  may be integrated with the support member  150  as a single component to support the battery  120 . 
       FIG. 5A  is a view illustrating a rear surface of an electronic device according to another embodiment,  FIG. 5B  is a sectional view of an electronic device taken along line A-A′ of  FIG. 5A  according to a fourth embodiment, and  FIG. 5C  is a view illustrating the applying of the machining tool to the electronic device according to the fourth embodiment. In  FIG. 5A , the first plate  111  (see  FIG. 1 ) is removed for illustration purposes. In  FIG. 5B , the first plate  111 , the second plate  112  (see  FIG. 1 ), and the side member  113  (see  FIG. 1 ) are coupled. Corresponding components of the electronic device  100  in  FIGS. 1-5B  share the same element numerals, and duplicated descriptions thereof will be omitted below. Accordingly, referring to  FIGS. 5A and 5B , it can be understood that the components assigned with the same reference numerals as those in  FIGS. 1-4  have the same structure or functional features unless otherwise specified. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 5A and 5B , according to an embodiment, the polymer structure  160  may include one area coupled to the support member  150  and having the shape of protruding by a specific length toward the second plate  112  (e.g., the second direction of  FIG. 1 ). For example, the polymer structure  160  may include a flat first area  161  coupled to a boundary area between the side member  113  and the support member  150 , and a second area  162  extending inward of the housing of the electronic device  100  from the first area  161 . The second area  162  may have the shape of protruding with a specific inclination toward the second plate  112 . In this case, the support member  150  coupled to the polymer structure  160  may be in the shape corresponding to the flat shape and the protruding shape of the polymer structure  160 . Due to the protrusion of the polymer structure  160 , the previously-shown step  152  of the support member  150  may have its height reduced or be removed entirely. 
     According to an embodiment, the polymer structure  160  having the above-described shape may include at least one first groove  173  and at least one second groove  174  to support beamforming by the antenna structure  140  installed (or mounted) on the support member  150 . In other words, according to an embodiment described with reference to  FIGS. 5A and 5B , the at least one first groove  173  or  174  may be formed only in the polymer structure  160  and not in the support member. In one embodiment, the at least one groove  173  may be realized by applying the machining tool in a direction facing the second plate  112  (e.g., the second direction of  FIG. 1 ), such that at least a portion of the surface of the polymer structure  160  making contact with the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140  are removed (or cut out) by a specific width or a specific thickness. This may be similar to at least one groove  172  described above with reference to  FIG. 4 . Accordingly, the polymer structure  160  may include an eighth surface  71  formed by this operation. In an embodiment, the at least one second groove  174  may be formed by removing a portion of the polymer structure  160  by the machining tool applied to the polymer structure  160  at a specific inclination. 
     In the embodiment described above with reference to  FIG. 5B , the section of the electronic device  100  is illustrated along line A-A′ in  FIG. 5A . Although not shown in  FIG. 5B , a cross section may be made along a line parallel to A-A′ but in which the at least one first groove  173  is not made. In this cross section, the polymer structure  160  makes contact with the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 5B and 5C , the inclination of a machining tool  200  may be changed when it is applied to form the at least one second groove  174 . Accordingly, the at least one second groove  174  may include a ninth surface  72  formed as the machining tool  200  is applied with the first inclination and a tenth surface  73  formed as the machining tool  200  is applied with the second inclination. 
     According to an embodiment, the variation in the inclination for applying the machining tool  200  results in the eighth surface  71 , the ninth surface  72 , and the tenth surface  73  forming a relatively gentle curve. 
     According to an embodiment, for example, the rib  151  may extend from the support member  150  with the height substantially similar to the thickness (or the height) of the battery  120  adjacent to the rib  151  to stably support or fix the battery  120  adjacent to the rib  151 . 
     In an embodiment, the machining tool  200  may be applied to the polymer structure  160  by fixing the electronic device  100  on a die  300  using at least one jig  310 . The inclination of the die  300  is adjustable, and the machining tool  200  is vertically moved from above the die  300  to be applied to the polymer structure  160 . In this operation, the inclination of the die  300  may be one that avoids locking between the machining tool  200  and the rib  151 . For example, when the inclination of the die  300  is 40 degrees, locking between the machining tool  200  and the rib  151  may be avoided, but at the same time the at least one groove  174  may be formed by the machining tool  200  as it is introduced to the polymer structure  160 . On the other hand, if the inclination of the die  300  is 50 degrees, locking between the machining tool  200  and the rib  151  may occur such that part of the rib  151  may be accidentally removed by the machining tool. In this case, the height of the rib  151  may be reduced, and it may not support the battery  120  as well. Accordingly, the inclination of the die  300  may be determined to be in the range of 40 degrees to 50 degrees when the machining tool  200  is applied. As explained in connection with  FIG. 5B , the inclination of the die  300  may change when forming the at least one second groove  174 . The embodiment shown in  FIG. 5C  is only an example, and the instant disclosure is not limited to the range of 40-50 degrees. For example, the range may vary depending on the height of the rib  151  or the distance between the rib  151  and the polymer structure  160 . 
       FIG. 6A  is a sectional view of an electronic device along line A-A′ of  FIG. 1  according to a fifth embodiment, and  FIG. 6B  is a view illustrating a machining process of the electronic device according to the fifth embodiment.  FIG. 6A  illustrates the electronic device when the first plate  111  (see  FIG. 1 ), the second plate  112  (see  FIG. 1 ), and the side member  113  (see  FIG. 1 ) are coupled to each other. Corresponding components of the electronic device  100  in  FIGS. 1-6B  share the same element numerals, and duplicated descriptions thereof will be omitted below. Accordingly, referring to  FIGS. 6A and 6B , it can be understood that the components assigned with the same reference numerals as those in  FIGS. 1-5B  have the same structure or functional features unless otherwise specified. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 6A and 6B , as one surface of the polymer structure  160  making contact with the first surface  10  of the antenna structure  140  is removed (or cut out), in a space formed by the side member  113 , the support member  150 , the antenna structure  140 , and the first plate  111 , at least one groove  175  may be formed in the polymer structure  160 . The groove  175  may be referred to as a recess that is recessed into a portion of the polymer structure  160 . 
     Regarding the process of forming the at least one groove  175 , the machining tool  200  including a body having a specific width W 1  (e.g., 1.2 mm) and a head having a specific width W 2  (e.g., 2.4 mm) is introduced between the rib  151  and the polymer structure  160  and is moved down as part of a first process while being spaced apart from the rib  151  by a specific distance (e.g., 0.15 mm), such that the portion of the polymer structure  160  aligned with the step  152  of the support member  150  (not shown) may be removed. After being moved down, the machining tool  200  is then moved back up and moved as part of a second process by a specific distance (e.g., 0.5 mm) toward the side member  113 . Thereafter, the machining tool  200  is moved down as part of a third process to the boundary between the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  to remove (cut out) a portion of the eleventh surface  80  of the polymer structure  160 . Accordingly, a recess or groove  175  toward the side member  113  may be generated in the polymer structure  160 . According to an embodiment, the width W 3  from the rib  151  of the support member  150  to the newly-recessed eleventh surface  80  may be the sum of the distance (e.g., 2.7 mm) between the rib  151  and the step  152 , the thickness of the removed part of the polymer structure  160  in the first process, and the moved distance of the machining tool  200  toward the side member  113  in the second process. 
       FIG. 7A  is a view illustrating the arrangement space of an antenna structure of an electronic device according to a sixth embodiment, and  FIG. 7B  is a sectional view of the electronic device taken along line A-A′ in  FIG. 7A  according to the sixth embodiment. In  FIG. 7A , the first plate  111  (see  FIG. 1 ) is removed. In  FIG. 7B , the first plate  111 , the second plate  112  (see  FIG. 1 ), and the side member  113  (see  FIG. 1 ) are coupled. Corresponding components of the electronic device  100  in  FIGS. 1-7B  share the same element numerals, and duplicated descriptions thereof will be omitted below. Accordingly, referring to  FIGS. 7A and 7B , it can be understood that the components assigned with the same reference numerals as those in  FIGS. 1-6B  have the same structure or functional features unless otherwise specified. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 7A and 7B , the head of the machining tool  200  applied to the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 , when they are coupled to each other, may have a curved shape. In this case, at least one groove  177  formed in the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160  may include a twelfth surface  90  curved in at least a portion thereof corresponding to the head of the machining tool  200 . In an embodiment, the machining tool  200  may be applied to a specific depth or height such that the twelfth surface  90  is disposed on parts of the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 . 
     In an embodiment, the rib  151  formed on the support member  150 , as compared to previous embodiments, may be partly removed so that its height is reduced. This is to ensure that the machining tool can be properly applied to the support member  150  and the polymer structure  160 . Accordingly, the rib  151  of the support member  150  may include at least one opening  153  serving as an area corresponding to at least one groove  177 . According to an embodiment, instead of using a head with a curved surface, the twelfth surface  90  may be formed by a machining tool with a flat head. In this embodiment, the inclination at which the machining tool is applied may be gradually altered to create the curved surface of the groove  177 .

     Referring to  FIG. 8 , the polymer structure  160  making up part of the side member  113  may be separated from the side member  113  and may be included in one area of the first plate  111  (e.g., the rear plate). For example, the polymer structure  160  may be disposed to be matched with the support member  150  at a specific section of the side member  113  when the first plate  111  is coupled to the side member  113 . The polymer structure  160  may be inserted into an inner area of the edge of the first plate  111  curved with a specific curvature. According to an embodiment, the polymer structure  160  included in the inner area of the edge of the first plate  111  may be coupled to the first plate  111  or may be formed integrally with the first plate  111 . In an embodiment, the polymer structure  160  included in the first plate  111  may include at least one groove forming a specific inclination with respect to the first surface of the antenna structure  140  (e.g., reference numeral  10  of  FIG. 2B ) or at least one groove parallel to the first surface  10 . In addition, due to the grooves, the polymer structure  160  may support signal radiation of the antenna structure  140 .

According to one embodiment, the heat radiation member  145  may be formed to surround at least a portion of the shielding member  141  and the printed circuit board  143 , which are coupled to each other. Accordingly, the second surface  20  (see  FIG. 2B ) of the above-described antenna structure  140  may be understood as one surface of the heat radiation member  145 . For example, one surface of the heat radiation member  145  makes contact with the shielding member  141 , and another surface bent and extending from that surface may make contact with the bottom surface of each of the shielding member  141  and the printed circuit board  143 . Alternatively, the one surface of the heat radiation member  145  makes contact with the shielding member  141 , and another surface of the heat radiation member  145 , which is bent and extending from that one surface, may make contact with the top surface of each of the shielding member  141  and the printed circuit board  143 . In an embodiment, the heat radiation member  145  may include at least one hole  146  for receiving a screw that couples the antenna structure to the support member  150 , for example as shown in  FIG. 2B .

The third RFIC  1726  and the antenna  1748  are disposed on the same substrate, thereby reducing the length of the transmission line between the third RFIC  1726  and the antenna  1748 . Accordingly, the loss (e.g., attenuation) of a signal, which has a high frequency band (e.g., the band of about 6 GHz to about 60 GHz) used for the 5G network communication, on a transmission line may be reduced. Accordingly, the electronic device  1601  may improve the quality or the data rate of the communication with the second cellular network  1794  (e.g., a 5G network). 
     The second cellular network  1794  (e.g., 5G network) may be operated independently from the first cellular network  1792  (e.g., a legacy network) (e.g., Stand-Alone (SA)), or may be operated in connection with the first cellular network  1792  (e.g., Non-Stand Alone (NSA)). For example, the 5G network may have only an access network (e.g., a 5G radio access network (RAN) or a next generation RAN (NG RAN)), and may not include a core network (e.g., a next generation core (NGC)). In this case, the electronic device  1601  may access the access network in the 5G network and then access the external network (e.g., Internet) under the core network (e.g., evolved packed core (EPC)) of the legacy network. Protocol information (e.g., LTE protocol information) for communication with the legacy network or protocol information (e.g., new radio (NR) protocol information) for communication with 5G network communication may be stored in the memory  1630  and may accessed by another part (e.g., the processor  1620 , the first communication processor  1712 , or the second communication processor  1714 ).

The antenna elements may be formed on the first surface of the printed circuit board  1810  as illustrated in  FIG. 18 . According to another embodiment, the antenna array  1830  may be formed inside the printed circuit board  1810 . According to embodiments, the antenna array  1830  may include a plurality of antenna arrays (e.g., a dipole antenna array, and/or a patch antenna array) having the same or different shape or type.

The RFIC  1852  may be configured to process a signal of a selected frequency band transmitted/received through the antenna array  1830 . According to an embodiment, the RFIC  1852  may convert a baseband signal obtained from a communication processor (not shown) into an RF signal having a specific band in transmission. The RFIC  1852  may convert an RF signal received through the antenna array  1830  into a baseband signal and transmit the converted baseband signal to the communication processor. 
     According to another embodiment, the RFIC  1852  may up-convert, in transmission, the IF signal (e.g., having the band of about 9 GHz to about 11 GHz)) obtained from an intermediate frequency integrate circuit (IFIC) (the fourth RFIC  1728  of  FIG. 17 ) to the RF signal having the selected band. The RFIC  1852  may down-convert, in reception, the RF signal obtained through the antenna array  1830  into the IF signal to be transmitted to the IFIC. 
     The PMIC  1854  may be disposed in another partial area (e.g., the second surface), which is separated from the antenna array, of the printed circuit board  1810 . The PMIC  1854  may receive a voltage from the main PCB (not illustrated) and may provide power necessary for various components (e.g., RFIC  1852 ) on the antenna module. 
     The shielding member  1890  may be disposed on a portion (e.g., the second surface) of the printed circuit board  1810  to electromagnetically shield at least one of the RFIC  1852  or the PMIC  1854 . According to one embodiment, the shielding member  1890  may include a shield can. 
     Although not illustrated, in an embodiment, the third antenna module  1746  may be electrically connected with another printed circuit board (e.g., a main circuit board) through a module interface. The module interface may include a connecting member, for example, a coaxial cable connector, a board to board connector, an interposer, or a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The RFIC  1852  and/or the PMIC  1854  of the third antenna module  1746  may be electrically connected with the printed circuit board through the connecting member.
