1. An electronic device comprising:
a mmWave antenna module including:
a plurality of first antenna elements disposed on a first surface oriented in a first direction;
a first coupling unit that protrudes in a second direction from a second surface that is perpendicular to the first surface and is oriented in the second direction; and
a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) disposed on a third surface oriented in a third direction opposite to the first direction;
an antenna structure including:
a plurality of second antenna elements; and
a second coupling unit protruding from one surface of the antenna structure;
a connection member electrically connected to at least one of the first coupling unit and the second coupling unit;
a main printed circuit board (PCB) electrically connected to the mmWave antenna module; and
a wireless communication circuit disposed on the main PCB,
wherein the antenna structure is electrically connected to the mmWave antenna module via the connection member, and
wherein the wireless communication circuit is configured to perform wireless communication by using at least one of the mmWave antenna module and the antenna structure.
