Laptop industries need compact and efficient planar antennas which should fit into their cabin comfortably in the allotted limited space. This paper provides the design of such planar inverted folded antenna with dual band operation and analysis based on its performance characteristics. The proposed planar inverted folded antenna model is suitable to operate for Bluetooth and WLAN applications. High bandwidth with good radiation characteristics and compactness with adoptable nature makes this antenna as attracting device in the laptop devices.
