Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device for communicating using beamforming, and an operating method therefor, the electronic device including a plurality of antenna modules which are disposed at different locations and which support beamforming, a communication module which transmits and receives a signal through the plurality of antenna modules, at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions, when executed, causing the processor to perform a beam search on the plurality of antenna modules, select at least two antenna modules allowing a beam satisfying a specified condition to be formed among the plurality of antenna modules, based on a result of the beam search, and communicate by alternately using the selected at least two antenna modules.
