Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication circuit including at least one antenna for acquiring signals from an external electronic device, a processor operatively connected with the UWB communications circuit, and memory operatively connected with the processor. The memory may store one or more instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to obtain at least one signal from the at least one antenna, determine a phase-difference-of-arrival of the at least one signal, obtain information related to the state of the electronic device, obtain a calibration value corresponding to the obtained state information of the electronic device from the memory, and determine the angle-of-arrival of the at least one signal based on the phase-difference-of-arrival of the at least one signal and the calibration value.
