Has anybody information on laptop/notebook internal antennas?
I was wondering whether internal antennas are always designed to work in both frequency bands for 802.11b (2.4GHz) and 802.11a (5Ghz)?

I would like to upgrade my old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 series with an internal mini PCI card. I would like to get a 802.11a/b/g card but I don't know whether the internal antennas support the 5GHz band. Maybe somebody has some data on the return loss of the internal antennas in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands?
