Abstract

The paper presents a relatively new dual band small size F-shaped antenna (Wong, K.L., "Planar Antennas for Wireless Communications", John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2003; Yeh, S.H. and Wong, K.L., IEEE Antennas and Prop. Soc. Int. Symp., vol.1, p.72-5, 2002), and analyzes its installation on a side of the monitor of a portable computer. This implies that is necessary to design an antenna less than 15 mm wide. The antenna operates at the IEEE 802.11a (5.15-5.35 GHz) and the IEEE 802.11b (2.4-2.48 GHz) frequency bands. Samples of numerical results are shown, which have been calculated by resorting to a numerical code based on a method of moments (MoM).
