Abstract

A compact L-Shape DRA fed by PIFA was designed and fabricated for laptop WLAN application. The antenna was formed to L-shape to minimize the ground plane size, so that it can be fitted into the top corners of a laptop display. A parasitic lossy PCB panel was used to mimic laptop LCD panel. Both the cases of antenna alone and with display panel were simulated and measured. A full coverage of 2.4-2.5 GHz ISM band was achieved for both cases. Simulated far-field total gain patterns were also presented. The effect of the presence of display panel was discussed.
