An electronic device and a method of grip recognition of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes an antenna; a radio communication unit having a coupler; a memory; and a processor which is operatively connected to the radio communication unit and the memory. The memory comprises instructions, executable by the processor. The processor is configured to detect a first signal being transmitted and a second signal being received through the antenna using the coupler, calculate a reflection coefficient of the antenna based on the first signal and the second signal, determine at least one of a signal magnitude or a phase corresponding to the reflection coefficient, and determine whether the electronic device is being gripped based on the at least one of the signal magnitude or the phase.
