Abstract :
60 GHz antennas are embedded in a laptop base to evaluate radiation characteristics from different locations. It is shown that unlike at 2.4 GHz, the base-mounted antenna is very sensitive to small shape deformations from the cover platform, and this is attributed to diffraction from these deformations that are within a wavelength at 60 GHz. Effects of the lid on the base-mounted antenna are also investigated.
