Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise: a first housing; a second housing; a printed circuit board arranged in the space of the first housing or the second housing; a hinge structure comprising a hinge arranged between the first housing and the second housing such that the first housing and the second housing are folded or unfolded; and a wireless communication circuit configured to transmit and/or receive wireless signals in a plurality of frequency bands through at least a part of the first housing and at least a part of the second housing. The first housing includes a first metal frame and the first metal frame can be separated into a plurality of parts through a plurality of first segments. The second housing includes a second metal frame and the second metal frame can be separated into a plurality of parts through a plurality of second segments. The electronic device can include a switch for electrically connecting or disconnecting a first part of the first metal frame and a second part of the first metal frame, which are physically separated from each other. In the electronic device, an antenna can be formed from a part of the first metal frame or the antenna can be formed from the part of the first metal frame and a part of the second metal frame. The disclosure relates to an antenna to which the first and second parts of the first metal frame are electrically connected when the switch is turned on, and enables a new radio (NR) signal in a low band to be transmitted/received to/from the antenna.
