1. An electronic device comprising:
a first antenna for an angle of arrival (AOA);
a second antenna for the AOA;
a wireless communication circuitry electrically coupled with the first antenna and the second antenna; and
a processor electrically coupled with the wireless communication circuitry,
wherein the first antenna is fed from the wireless communication circuitry at a first point located at a first edge of the first antenna for a first AOA or a second point located at a second edge different from the first edge for a second AOA,
wherein the second antenna is fed from the wireless communication circuitry at a third point of the second antenna for the first AOA or the second AOA,
wherein a distance between the first point and the third point is a first specified distance less than or equal to a half wavelength λ/2 of a radio frequency (RF) signal received via the first antenna,
wherein a distance between the second point and the third point is a second specified distance less than the first specified distance, and
wherein a first line segment which connects the first point and the third point has a slope different from that of a second line segment which connects the second point and the third point.
