Article Description

A new compact, multiband, single-feed planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) for laptop computers is presented. The proposed large-bandwidth radiating system is designed to operate in the IEEE 802.11a (5.725-5.825 GHz), IEEE 802.11b (2.4-2.48 GHz), and HIPERLAN2 (5.470-5.725 GHz) frequency bands. The overall size of the antenna and its dimensions are suitable for its installation in any position along the border of the display of a laptop computer. The design procedure is illustrated and discussed. The antenna behavior has been analyzed by resorting to both a conformal finite-difference time-domain (CFDTD) simulation procedure and a finite-element method (FEM) based technique. The simulation results are shown for the antenna in free space as well as when it is mounted in the border of a notebook display. A prototype is realized and the measurement results show good agreement with the simulation data. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
