Abstract
An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a first antenna configured to communicate using a first frequency band group, a ground switch coupled to the first antenna, a second antenna configured to communicate using a second frequency band group, wherein the second antenna overlaps the first antenna, a band selection switch configured to select one of multiple radio frequency (RF) paths for the second frequency band group, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including determining a communication frequency band, when the communication frequency band is unsupported by the second antenna, identifying an RF path corresponding to the communication frequency band from among the multiple RF paths, and controlling the band selection switch to select the identified RF path for operative connection to the second antenna.
