1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing; and
a plurality of antenna modules disposed to be adjacent to an edge of the housing,
wherein the plurality of antenna modules includes:
a printed circuit board including a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface;
a first antenna array including a plurality of first antenna elements;
a second antenna array disposed on the first surface and including a plurality of second antenna elements;
and
a communication circuit electrically connected with the first antenna array and the second antenna array and configured to transmit and receive a signal in a specified frequency band by using the first antenna array and the second antenna array,
wherein at least one of the plurality of first antenna elements of the first antenna array include a first area, a second area opposite to the first area, and a third area,
wherein the first area is formed on the first surface and extending to the side surface,
wherein the second area is formed on the second surface and extending to the side surface,
wherein the third area is formed on the side surface and connected to the first area and the second area,
wherein the first area, the second area and third area are plated on the printed circuit board, and
wherein the first antenna elements are dipole antenna elements, and wherein the second antenna elements are patch antenna elements.
