Abstract :
A novel dual-band low profile antenna to be integrated into a laptop screen cover rim is presented. In spite of the laptop´s large ground plane, the antenna exhibits quasi-omnidirectional properties in both operating bands. The two resonant frequencies can be tuned independently within a broad range of ratio 1.2-3.5 without changing the patch external dimensions.
