1. An electronic device, comprising:
an antenna including a radiating unit capable of communication through a first frequency band and a second frequency band and a power feeding unit;
a switch configured to selectively connect at least one of a first grounding unit of the electronic device, corresponding to the first frequency band and a second grounding unit of the electronic device, corresponding to the second frequency band to the radiating unit; and
a processor configured to:
connect at least one of the first grounding unit and the second grounding unit to the radiating unit based on a parameter indicating a signal strength and estimate, at least once, a data throughput according to at least one antenna switch grounding structure; and
control the switch by connecting at least one of the first grounding unit and the second grounding unit to the radiating unit to implement an antenna switch grounding structure having a quickest data throughput based on the estimated data throughput.
