1. A portable communication device comprising:
a housing including a first exterior side and a second exterior side;
a first printed circuit board (PCB) accommodated in the housing;
a second PCB accommodated in the housing;
a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC);
a flexible connecting member electrically connecting the second PCB to the RFIC;
a first antenna array disposed in the first PCB and electrically connected with the RFIC, the first antenna array configured to radiate a first beam substantially through the first exterior side using a first signal provided by the RFIC, the first signal corresponding to a first frequency band;
a second antenna array disposed in the first PCB and electrically connected with the RFIC, the second antenna array configured to radiate a second beam substantially through the first exterior side using a second signal provided by the RFIC, the second signal corresponding to a second frequency band;
a third antenna array disposed in the second PCB and electrically connected with the RFIC via the flexible connecting member, the third antenna array configured to radiate a third beam substantially through the second exterior side using a third signal provided by the RFIC, the third signal corresponding to the first frequency band; and
a fourth antenna array disposed in the second PCB and electrically connected with the RFIC via the flexible connecting member, the fourth antenna array configured to radiate a fourth beam substantially through the second exterior side using a fourth signal provided by the RFIC, the fourth signal corresponding to the second frequency band.
