Original Abstract Submitted

According to various embodiments disclosed in the present document, an antenna module and/or an electronic device including same may comprise: a communication circuit part; an antenna part stacked-up on or above the communication circuit part and comprising multiple antenna elements; and a network part disposed between the communication circuit part and the antenna part. The antenna part may comprise: at least one first subarray formed of a combination of some of the antenna elements; and at least one second subarray formed of a combination another of the antenna elements, and disposed to be point symmetric to the first subarray. The network part may comprise: a first transmission port corresponding to a transmission input terminal of the first subarray; a first reception port corresponding to a reception input terminal of the first subarray; a second transmission port corresponding to a transmission input terminal of the second subarray; and a second reception port corresponding to a reception input terminal of the second subarray. With respect to symmetric points of the first subarray and the second subarray, the first transmission port may be disposed to be point symmetric to the second reception port, and the first reception port may be disposed to be point symmetric to the second transmission port. Various other embodiments are possible.
