1. An antenna module, comprising:
an integrated circuit (IC) package comprising an IC;
a first antenna part comprising a first patch antenna pattern;
a second antenna part comprising a second patch antenna pattern; and
a connection member comprising a laminated structure having a first surface, on which the first and second antenna parts are disposed, and a second surface, on which the IC package is disposed, opposing the first surface,
wherein the connection member has a first region overlapping the IC package, and a second region not overlapping the IC package and being more flexible than the first region,
wherein the first antenna part is disposed on the first region,
wherein the second antenna part is disposed on the second region, and
wherein at least one of the first antenna part and the second antenna part further comprises a connection structure disposed on the first surface and electrically connecting the first antenna part or the second antenna part and the connection member to each other.
