Abstract :
We present a narrow-size multiband inverted-F antenna (IFA), which can easily fit inside the housing of display units of ultra-slim laptops. The narrowness of the antenna is achieved by allowing some of its metallic parts to extend over the sidewalls of the dielectric substrate. The antenna is aimed to operate in all the allocated WiFi and WiMAX frequency bands while providing near-omnidirectional coverage in the horizontal plane. The multiband performance of the proposed antenna and its omnidirectionality are validated by measurements.
