Abstract

An electronic device is provided that includes a first antenna element that includes a first portion of a housing, and a second antenna element that include a second portion of the housing that is different from the first portion of the housing. The electronic device also includes a memory that stores feed conditions, each for applying a current to one of the first antenna element and the second antenna element. A tuner of the electronic device is controlled such that a first current flows to one of the first antenna element and the second antenna element, based on a first feed condition of the stored feed conditions, and a processor of the electronic device transmits or receives a signal in a specified frequency band based on an electrical path formed through the tuner.
