Dual-band printed L-slot antenna for 2.4/5 GHz WLAN operation in the laptop computer

Abstract

This paper presents a dual-band L-shaped slot antenna for laptop computer operated in WLAN system of 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz. The proposed antenna is formed by L-shaped slot and fed by strip line structure. The antenna size is relatively compact with the dimension of 15 mm × 60 mm × 0.8 mm. The antenna is compatible to embed at the top of the display panel for laptop computer. The antenna can be operated from 2.3 GHz to 2.6 GHz and from 5.0 GHz to 6.0 GHz that can cover WLAN system of 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz. © 2013 Antenna Society of the Chinese Institute of Electronics.
