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

Abstract

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 mm3, and it features a grounding system simulated by a 200 × 260 mm2 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 3λ/4 mode at 5.825 GHz and 5λ/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.

Electric-Inductive-Interdigital Capacitor Array MIMO Antenna with Enhanced Isolation by Metamaterial for Wi-Fi 5 & 6E Applications

“…Table II presents total dimension, operating bandwidth, Isolation, gain and substrate used. In [24,25] it achieves the wide bandwidth and enhanced isolation but the dimensions are too large with low gain. Even though the size of the MIMO antennas is compact size in [26,10] it has only narrow bandwidth with low gain.…”

Combined Open-Slot and Monopole 8 × 8 High-Isolation Broadband MIMO Antenna System for Sub-6 GHz Terminals

“…Both simulated and measured results demonstrate that the 8 × 8 MIMO system possesses good isolation and diversity performance with isolation degrees better than 14.5 dB and ECCs lower than 0.01 across 3.28-5.05 GHz. Te proposed 8 × 8 MIMO antenna system has wider bandwidth coverage than that of some recently proposed broadband terminal antennas [39][40][41], and it may be one of the attractive choices for 5G compact smartphone antenna system architects.…”

“…Therefore, the Wi-Fi Alliance introduced the Wi-Fi 6E standard. Users can find 802.11ax characteristics and capabilities in Wi-Fi 6E, and it does so in the 6 GHz range [ 4 ]. Additionally, to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands already supported, Wi-Fi 6E will enable the operation of features in the unlicensed 6 GHz frequency.…”
