Summary:
A novel multiband antenna suitable for application as an internal laptop antenna for 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and 2.5/3.5/5 GHz WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) operation is presented. The proposed antenna comprises metal-plate radiating elements as arms 1, 2, and 3, an inverted-L shaped shorting strip, and a parasitic element short-circuited to the ground plane. The radiating elements effectively control four excited resonant modes to be able to operate in WLAN/ WiMAX dual-network operation. The proposed antenna is promising to be embedded within the narrow spacing between the casing of the laptop computer and the supporting metal frame of the display as an internal antenna. In addition, the antenna is also suitable to be integrated into the supporting metal frame of a laptop-computer display as an integrated antenna.
