Abstract:
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention can comprise: a housing; a first antenna element positioned inside the housing or at a first position thereof; a second antenna element positioned inside the housing or at a second position separated from the first position thereof; and a wireless communication circuit positioned inside the housing and electrically coupled to the first antenna element and the second antenna element. The wireless communication circuit comprises: a wireless modem; a source RF circuit electrically connected to the wireless modem, and configured to generate an IF signal; and a second RF circuit positioned at a fourth position closer to the second position than to the first position, wherein: each of the first RF circuit and the second RF circuit is configured to alternately receive an IF signal for transmitting a transmitted signal via the first antenna element and the second antenna element, and includes a first electrical path between the source RF circuit and the second RF circuit, a second electrical path between the source RF circuit and the second RF circuit, and a third electrical path between the first RF circuit and the second RF circuit; the first RF circuit, while being electrically blocked from the first antenna element, is configured to form at least a portion of a first loopback path from the first RF circuit to the source RF circuit through the third electrical path and the second electrical path; and the second RF circuit, while being electrically blocked from the second antenna element, can be configured to form at least a portion of a second loopback path from the second RF circuit to the source RF circuit through the third electrical path and the first electrical path. Additional other embodiments are also possible.
