Hi:

 

Your notebook does not have a BIOS whitelist but with only one antenna wire a dual band wifi card may not function correctly--the wifi reception may not be the best, and the Bluetooth may not work because that usually works off the auxiliary antenna terminal connector.

 

Since your notebook has an Intel processor, you can also upgrade to this card which is probably cheaper and easier to find, and has newer driver support into 2019, where the Broadcom driver is from 2016.

 

Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0    HP Part # 710661-001.

 

But yes, with one antenna wire you will be able to operate either wifi card on the 5.0 GHz wifi band.

 

There are no dual band Half Mini Cards that were designed to work with only one antenna wire.

 

Running a second antenna wire properly will require you to completely disassemble the notebook including the display panel.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.  The antenna kit part number is listed in chapter 3 on page 41.

i dont have any problem for a complete disassembly of display can you please tell me whether i can use any generic antenna for 5ghz  signal reception of any specific part no mentioned in the manual for installing bcm4352?

HP Recommended

Unfortunately, that I do not know.

 

I can only advise you of the antenna kit part number in the manual.

 

I suppose any generic antenna wire and transceiver will fit someplace but maybe not inside the display panel.
