Recent wireless communication-enabled electronic devices, such as smart phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, and various wearable electronic devices, offer complex functions. For example, in addition to conventional telephone and text message transmission and reception functions, it also provides functions such as Internet access, broadcast reception, short-range wireless communication, and electronic banking. In addition, the speed of wireless communication for realizing such functions is also rapidly improving.
To this end, modern electronic devices may include more than one antenna. For example, the electronic device includes two or more antennas for cellular communication, various wireless communication antennas such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC, an antenna for GPS, and an antenna for broadcast reception.
Preferably, the plurality of antennas are spaced apart by more than half (? / 2) of the wavelength of the frequency band in which the antenna operates. However, if two or more antennas are located adjacent to each other and operate simultaneously, interference may occur between the antennas.

Referring to FIG. 2 and Table 1, S21 corresponding to the isolation characteristic is -6.53 dB at a frequency of 2300 MHz, -5.85 dB at a frequency of 2550 MHz, and -11.20 dB at a frequency of 2800 MHz.

Values of respective parameters at 2300 MHz, 2550 MHz, and 2800 MHz in the graph of FIG. 3 are summarized in Table 2 below.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 2, it can be seen that S21 corresponding to the isolation characteristic is -13.82 dB at a frequency of 2300 MHz, -22.91 dB at a frequency of 2550 MHz, and -13.20 dB at a frequency of 2800 MHz.

Table 3 summarizes S21 values and changes of the conventional antenna structure and the antenna structure of the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 3, the S21 of the antenna structure of the present invention showed a decrease of 7.29 dB at a frequency of 2300 MHz, a decrease of 17.06 dB at a frequency of 2550 MHz, a frequency of 2.00 at a frequency of 2800 MHz dB is decreased.

Also, referring to FIG. 4, S11 and S22 of the antenna structure of the present invention are increased at a frequency of 2300 MHz compared to the conventional antenna structure.
