ABSTRACT

An internal compact printed loop antenna with matching element is presented for laptop applications. Bending to the printed loop structure is employed to reduce the size of antenna. A matching element is used at backside of the substrate to enhance the bandwidth of the antenna. The matching element is of rectangular shape with inverted U shape slot in it. The proposed antenna with wideband characteristics covers GSM900, GSM1900, UMTS, LTE2300, WLAN, WiMAX 3.3/3.5/3.7 bands and is suitable for laptop applications. The antenna structure is simulated using IE3D software.
