1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a front cover, a rear cover facing a direction opposite to a direction in which the front cover faces, and a lateral member surrounding a space between the front cover and the rear cover, the lateral member including a conductive member including an inner surface and an outer surface;
an antenna structure disposed in the space of the housing and including a substrate, and a plurality of antenna elements disposed at a first interval at the substrate;
a plurality of through-holes penetrating from the inner surface to the outer surface and corresponding to the plurality of antenna elements; and
a wireless communication circuit disposed in the space and configured to transmit or receive a radio signal in a specified frequency band through the antenna structure,
wherein first opening portions of the plurality of through-holes formed in the inner surface are disposed at the first interval, and second opening portions of the plurality of through-holes formed in the outer surface are disposed at a second interval greater than the first interval, and
wherein at least a part of the second opening portion is formed in a direction in which the rear cover faces.
