The antenna includes an antenna holder spanning within a length of a slot for a hinge of the electronic device or spanning within a length of the hinge. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An enclosure of an electronic device, comprising: a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite to each other; a first slot on the first side of the enclosure, wherein the first slot is to receive a keyboard unit; a second slot for a hinge, wherein the hinge is to couple the enclosure to a display unit; and an antenna positioned on the second side of the enclosure, the antenna comprising an antenna holder, the antenna holder spanning within a length of the second slot and having an excitation surface facing the second slot, the excitation surface to transceive signals, and a first ground surface along a length of the antenna holder, the first ground surface having a first beveled edge, wherein the first ground surface meets the excitation surface at the first beveled edge. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The enclosure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna holder is parallel to the second slot and has a length equal to or less than the length of the second slot. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The enclosure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna holder has a second ground surface opposite to the first ground surface, the second ground surface having a second beveled edge, wherein the second ground surface meets the excitation surface at the second beveled edge. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The enclosure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna holder has a cuboidal structure and the excitation surface is formed on one side of the cuboidal structure. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The enclosure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the antenna is to transceive signals in at least one of 2.4 Giga Hertz frequency band and 5 Giga Hertz frequency band. ### Claim 6 An electronic device comprising: a base unit having a keyboard mounted on a top side of the base unit, the base unit comprising: a slot; a hinge accommodated in the slot, to couple the base unit to a display unit; and a first antenna positioned on a bottom side of the base unit, the first antenna comprising an antenna holder, the antenna holder spanning within a length of the slot, wherein the antenna holder comprises: an excitation surface facing the slot, the excitation surface to transceive signals; a first ground surface along a length of the antenna holder, the first ground surface having a first beveled edge; and a second ground surface opposite to the first ground surface and having a second beveled edge, wherein the excitation surface meets the first and the second beveled edges. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first antenna is to transceive signals in 2.4 Giga Hertz frequency band. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a second antenna positioned along an edge of a frame of the display unit, the edge being parallel to an axis of rotation of the hinge, wherein the second antenna is to transceive signals in 5 Giga Hertz frequency band. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the antenna holder is parallel to the slot and has a length equal to or less than the length of the slot. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The electronic device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the excitation surface is at a first distance from the hinge and at a second distance from an edge of the base unit, the second distance being less than the first distance. ### Claim 11 An electronic device comprising: a base unit including a keyboard mounted on a top side of the base unit; a display unit coupled to the base unit though a plurality of hinges, the display unit comprising a display panel and a frame, the frame bordering the display panel; and a first set of antennas positioned on a bottom side of the base unit, each of the first set of antennas comprising an antenna holder, the antenna holder being parallel to a hinge from the plurality of hinges and spanning within a length of the hinge, the antenna holder including: an excitation surface to transceive signals in 2.4 Giga Hertz frequency band, wherein the excitation surface faces the hinge, and a ground surface along a length of the antenna holder and having a beveled edge, wherein the ground surface meets the excitation surface at the beveled edge; and a second set of antennas positioned along an edge of the frame of the display unit, the edge being parallel to an axis of rotation of the hinge, wherein the second set of antennas is to transceive signals in 5 Giga Hertz frequency band. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the ground surface is a first ground surface and the beveled edge is a first beveled edge, and wherein the antenna holder comprises: a second ground surface opposite to the first ground surface, the second ground surface having a second beveled edge, wherein the second ground surface meets the excitation surface at the second beveled edge.
