Abstract
An electronic device that includes an antenna structure installable in a narrow space is provided. The electronic device may include a first support member, a second support member, a printed circuit board (PCB), an antenna, and a first connector. The second support member is disposed in parallel with the first support member such that a lower surface thereof faces the first support member, and combined with the first support member through a plurality of fixing members. The PCB is disposed between the first and second support members and fixed by the plurality of fixing members. The antenna includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), a short range communication antenna pattern formed on the FPCB, and a wireless charging coil formed on the FPCB. The first connector electrically connects the PCB and the antenna by passing through a lateral surface of the second support member such that the antenna covers an upper surface of the second support member and at least one of the plurality of fixing members is overlapped with the wireless charging coil of the antenna.
