Abstract

AbstractA very small size planar two‐strip monopole printed on a thin (0.4 mm) FR4 substrate for 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz triple‐band WLAN operation in the laptop computer is presented. With the aid of an embedded chip inductor of 5.6 nH in the longer strip of the printed monopole, a much reduced strip length for obtaining the resonant mode at about 2.4 GHz is obtained, thereby leading to a much reduced size of the antenna for the desired WLAN operation. When the antenna is mounted along the top edge of the display ground, it shows a height of 9 mm and a length of 6 mm only, which is about the smallest among the triple‐band WLAN laptop computer antennas that have been reported. Details of the proposed antenna are described. Results of the fabricated prototype, including the user's hand effects on the antenna performances, are presented. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
