A user equipment (UE) and a method of operating the UE. The UE a display, a cover, a transceiver, and an antenna array. The display partially forms a front surface of the UE. The cover partially forms a side surface of the UE and includes a plurality of electromagnetic strips . The transceiver transmits a signal including a vertical polarization element and a horizontal polarization element. The antenna array is electrically connected with the transceiver and disposed in the space such that, the antenna array is substantially non-overlapped with the cover. The vertical polarization element or the horizontal polarization element is substantially perpendicular to at least one of the plurality of electromagnetic strips.
