Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a hinge module, a first housing at least partially coupled to a first side of the hinge module and including a first antenna, a second housing at least partially coupled to a second side of the hinge module, configured to be foldable and unfoldable with the first housing by using the hinge module, and including a second antenna, a sensor circuit configured to detect an unfolding state and/or a folding state of the first housing and the second housing, a processor operatively connected to the first antenna, the second antenna, and the sensor circuit, a first signal line configured to connect the processor and the first antenna, a tuner circuit disposed on the first signal line, and a second signal line configured to connect the processor and the second antenna, wherein the processor is configured to, in case that the first housing and the second housing are detected to be in the folding state by using the sensor circuit, receive feedback of a signal transmitted to the second antenna, detect a phase of the feedback signal, and determine a time constant of the tuner circuit disposed on the first signal line, based on the detected phase of the signal.
