Abstract

A 4-elements PIFA array antenna is designed for the laptop Wi-Fi application. The proposed array antenna elements are optimized for 2.45 GHz. It is a wide band antenna. It is embedded on the back side of the laptop screen. These array elements are excited simultaneously. The performance of this antenna is analyzed and the interaction between this antenna array and user (phantom) of the laptop is studied. The VSWR and the return loss values are excellent. The SAR value lies within the acceptable limit of Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All the simulation results are performed using CST Microwave Studio 2011.
