[MLB-WIRELESS] Antenna idea - flat on lid of laptop

[Clae]

Hi all you RF wizards,

I have this laptop with a removeable section on the rear of the 
screen assembly.  (The Powerbook 1400 book cover.  It was designed so 
you could customise it with different colours or pictures of your 
kids :-)  There is probably a millimetre or two of clearance under 
the cover, or alternatively I have a spare cover which could be cut 
up and modified.

How feasible would it be to build some kind of completely flat 
antenna under the cover?  I am googling for clues, just thought I'd 
ask if anyone has any info.

Meanwhile at http://www.ydi.com/products/wireless-internet.php I 
found a couple of interesting 18dBi flat panel antennae with built in 
Wifi clients

Cheers

Clae.
