Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction, a second surface facing in a second direction to the first direction, and a side member enclosing at least a portion of a space between the first surface and the second surface; a first metal plate positioned between the first surface and the second surface; a conductive coil positioned within the housing, having a shaft substantially perpendicular to the first direction or the second direction, and that winds around the first metal plate; a first communication circuit positioned within the housing and electrically connected to the conductive coil; a second communication circuit positioned within the housing and electrically connected to the first metal plate; a display exposed through at least a portion of the first surface; and a processor positioned within the housing and electrically connected to the first communication circuit, the second communication circuit, and the display. The second surface may include a first portion made of a conductive material and including a first opening and a second portion made of a non-conductive material and that fills the first opening. The conductiv…
