Abstract: An electronic device including an antenna device with an integrated sensor is provided. In an embodiment, first and second antenna radiators are operably connected. A communication module transmits or receive communication signals through the first and/or second antenna radiator. A separation circuit such as a series connected inductor is connected in a path between the first and second antenna radiators. The separation circuit prevents passage of the communication signals through the path while enabling passage of a sensing signal acquired through the first and second antenna radiators. A sensor module such as a proximity sensor receives the sensing signal acquired through the first and second antenna radiators. A processor controls a function of the electronic device based on the sensing signal.
