1. A printed circuit board (PCB) comprising:
a plurality of layers, including an antenna pattern layer, a feed layer, and an insulating layer interposed between the antenna pattern layer and the feed layer;
an antenna pattern positioned along at least part of one edge of the antenna pattern layer; and
one or more vias penetrating the insulating layer in a vertical direction and vertically connecting the antenna pattern and the feed layer,
wherein the antenna pattern is configured to generate a beam pattern in a direction toward an outer side of the edge of the antenna pattern layer.
