Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). An electronic device including a first radio frequency (RF) chip and a second RF chip is provided. The electronic device includes a modem configured to transmit a first clock signal to the second RF chip, the first RF chip connected to the modem and configured to receive a second clock signal from the modem, and the second RF chip electrically connected to the first RF chip through a transmission line and configured to receive the second clock signal from the first RF chip and to measure a phase of the transmission line based on the first clock signal and the second clock signal. The first clock signal and the second clock signal have different frequencies.
