Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing coupled to the first housing through a hinge structure to be rotatable about a first axis that faces a first direction, a first cover covering a rear surface of the first housing, a second cover covering a rear surface of the second housing, a flexible display defining a front surface of the electronic device and disposed over the first housing and the second housing, an antenna module, and at least one processor electrically connected to the flexible display and the antenna module, wherein the hinge structure is disposed in an area having a first width in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction with respect to the first axis, wherein the first housing has a first structure covering the hinge structure within the first width, wherein the first structure has an accommodation groove, in which the antenna module is accommodated, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to transmit and receive a high-frequency (millimeter wave) signal corresponding to a third direction that is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction by using t…
