Abstract

A new antenna structure of internal long-term evolution/wireless wide area network (698–960/1710–2690 MHz) laptop computer antenna formed by a coupled-fed loop antenna connected with two branch radiators is presented. The two branch radiators consist of one longer strip and one shorter strip, both being efficient radiators and contributing multiresonant modes to greatly enhance the bandwidth of the antenna. The antenna's lower band is formed by a dual-resonant mode mainly contributed by the longer branch strip, while the upper band is formed by three resonant modes contributed respectively by one higher-order resonant mode of the longer branch strip, one resonant mode of the coupled-fed loop antenna alone, and one resonant mode of the shorter branch strip. The antenna's lower and upper bands can therefore cover the desired 698–960 and 1710–2690 MHz bands, respectively. The proposed antenna is suitable to be mounted at the top shielding metal wall of the display ground of the laptop computer and occupies a small volume of 4 × 10 × 75 mm3 above the top shielding metal wall, which makes it promising to be embedded inside the casing of the laptop computer as an internal antenna. Details of the proposed antenna are studied in the paper. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 52:2662–2667, 2010; View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com.
