A New Coupled-Loop Antenna for Eight-Band LTE/WWAN Operation in Ultra-Thin Laptop Computer
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 42, 229-238, 2013
Abstract
A new structure of coupled-fed loop antenna connected with two branch radiators for eight-band LTE/WWAN (LTE700/GSM850/900/1800/1900/UMTS/LTE2300/2500) operation in the ultra-thin laptop computer is presented. The two branch strips of the antenna are efficient radiators and contributing multi-resonant modes to greatly enhance the bandwidth of the antenna. The proposed antenna on the top shielding metal wall of the laptop display, with a planar and compact size of 12.5×70×0.8 mm3, is suitable to be embedded inside the casing of the laptop computer. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested, and good radiation performances are obtained. Compared with the existing published antennas, the volume of the planar antenna is quite small.
