Abstract :
This paper contains a multiband low profile Modified Inverted-FL (IFL) strip antenna for 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN and 5.5 GHz WiMAX operations in a laptop computer. The simulation results are analyzed by means of Numerical Electromagnetic Code-2 (4NEC2) software. This antenna covers -10 dB return loss bandwidth of 900 MHz (5150 MHz ~6050 MHz). The antenna provides very high peak gains with lower gain variation in its operating bands. The antenna has suitable omnidirectional radiation characteristics. The dimension of the antenna is 16×18.5 mm2, which is very compact in size. So, this low profile antenna is promising to be embedded within the different portable devices employing WiMAX and WLAN applications.
