1. An electronic device comprising:
a display disposed on a front surface of the electronic device and a front plate disposed on the display;
a back plate disposed on a back surface of the electronic device;
a side member placed between the front plate and the back plate and forming an outer appearance of the electronic device together with the front plate and the back plate;
a first antenna module including a plurality of first patch antenna elements configured to transmit/receive a signal in a first frequency band, and placed adjacent to the side member and on an upper portion of the electronic device such that the plurality of first patch antenna elements face the back plate;
a second antenna module including a first substrate, a first communication circuit disposed on a back surface of the first substrate, and a plurality of second patch antenna elements disposed on a front surface of the first substrate and electrically connected to the first communication circuit, the first communication circuit being configured to transmit/receive the signal in the first frequency band, and the second antenna module being placed adjacent to the side member such that the plurality of second patch antenna elements face a left side of the electronic device when viewing the electronic device from the back surface; and
a third antenna module including a second substrate, a second communication circuit disposed on a back surface of the second substrate, and a plurality of third patch antenna elements disposed on a front surface of the second substrate and electrically connected to the second communication circuit, the second communication circuit being configured to transmit/receive the signal in the first frequency band, and the third antenna module being placed adjacent to the side member such that the plurality of third patch antenna elements face a right side of the electronic device when viewing the electronic device from the back surface.
