Abstract
Various embodiments relate to an electronic device that supports millimeter wave communication. The electronic device may include: a housing; an antenna structure including at least one antenna comprising a portion of the housing or positioned in the housing, and including an annular conductive structure comprising a conductive material, the annular conductive structure having a first surface facing an outside of the housing, a second surface facing a direction opposite the first surface, an internal space defined by the first surface and the second surface, and a plurality of slots having a repeating pattern and formed through the first surface to the internal space; a conductive member comprising a conductive material disposed in the internal space; a wireless communication circuit electrically connected with the conductive member and configured to form a directional beam using the antenna structure; and a ground electrically connected to the annular conductive structure.
