Abstract
A wireless communication device including an antenna device is provided. The wireless a communication device includes a housing having a conductive structure, a millimeter wave (mmWave) antenna having a plurality of antenna elements, the mmWave antenna being disposed within the housing, and a leaky-wave radiator having at least one opening formed in the conductive structure of the housing. An electromagnetic field generated by the mmWave antenna may be radiated outside of the housing of the wireless communication device through the leaky-wave radiator. The wireless communication device and/or an electronic device may be diversified according to embodiments.
