Small Antenna Design of Triple Band for WIFI 6E and WLAN Applications in the Narrow Border Laptop Computer

摘要

This paper presents the design of a small antenna for use in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and Wi-fi 6E on a narrow-border laptop. The dimensions of the antenna are 43?×?3?×?0.4?mm 3 , and it features a grounding system simulated by a 200?×?260?mm 2 copper plate. At low-frequency bands, a couple-fed right arm can excite the fundamental at 2.45?GHz in the λ /4 resonant mode to cover the range of 2.4–2.848?GHz. At higher bands, the couple-fed left arm and direct-fed right arm can control the higher 3 λ /4 mode at 5.825?GHz and 5 λ /4 mode at 6.85?GHz. The direct-fed left arm excites the fundamental at 5.16?GHz in the λ /4 resonant mode and, with integration of 5.16, 5.825, and 6.85?GHz, can fully cover the range of 5.15–7.125?GHz. In far-field measurements, the peak gain and efficiency in a WLAN with Wi-Fi 6E were 0.82 and 2.58?dBi and 53% and 68% in the low and high bands, respectively. Overall, the experiments revealed that the antenna exhibits a sufficient level of performance for a narrow-border laptop.
