    Abstract: An electronic device is provided, which includes an FPCB, wherein the FPCB includes a first portion in which an antenna is provided in the form of a patch antenna that overlaps a metal member, a second portion coupled to a connector of the circuit board, and a third portion arranged between the first portion and the second portion. A layered structure of the FPCB may include a dielectric material having a first thickness in the first portion overlapping the metal member and having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness in the second portion and the third portion, a first conductive layer provided in the first direction from the dielectric material, and an intermediate conductive layer provided in a second direction opposite to the first direction, from the dielectric material. The intermediate conductive layer may be provided only in the second portion and the third portion and may not be provided in the first portion. A portion of the dielectric material in the first portion can be arranged to face the metal member.

    Abstract: Provided is an electronic device that may include: an ultra wide band (UWB) communication module; a plurality of antennas; and a processor operatively connected to the UWB communication module. The UWB communication module may be configured to: receive first data of an UWB data frame from an external electronic device by using a first antenna set including at least two antennas among the plurality of antennas to measure a first angle of arrival (AOA); receive second data of the UWB data frame by using a second antenna set including at least two antennas among the plurality of antennas to measure a second AOA, where the second antenna set is configured during a section of the UWB data frame that does not include data; and measure the direction of the external electronic device by using the first AOA and the second AOA. It is possible to provide various other embodiments.

    Abstract: Example embodiments include an electronic device and a method for operating an electronic device. The electronic device includes an ultra-wide band (UWB) antenna including directional antennas disposed on a rear surface of the electronic device and at least one omnidirectional antenna. The electronic device further includes a communication circuit configured to transmit and/or receive radio frequency (RF) signals of a frequency band designated to be used for UWB communication, through the UWB antenna, with an external electronic device. The electronic device further includes a processor configured to calculate a first distance value and a second distance value, and to determine, based on a distance difference between the first distance value and the second distance value, whether the external electronic device exists within a field of view (FoV) indicating a specified angular range with respect to the direction to which the rear surface faces.
