1. An electronic device comprising:
a plurality of antennas including a plurality of first antennas for a first frequency band, and a plurality of second antennas for a second frequency band;
at least one sensor configured for detecting a position of a user grip for the electronic device;
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
identify that a transmission of first signals of the first frequency band and a transmission of second signals of the second frequency band are requested,
in case that an antenna combination for the first frequency band and the second frequency band exists among a plurality of antenna combinations,
transmit the first signals of the first frequency band through a first antenna of the antenna combination, and the second signals of the second frequency band through a second antenna of the antenna combination,
in case that the antenna combination does not exist among the plurality of antenna combinations:
decrease at least one of a first duty cycle for the first signals or a second duty cycle for the second signals, and
perform a beam search for transmitting the first signals and the second signals with at least one of the decreased first duty cycle or the decreased second duty cycle by using antennas determined based on the position of the user grip among the plurality of antennas,
wherein the first antenna is included in the plurality of first antennas, and the second antenna is included in the plurality of second antennas, and
wherein information on the plurality of antenna combinations for reducing interference between a plurality of frequency bands is stored in the memory.
