Some have antennas in the lid, some have them in the base, it varies
by manufacturer and model.

Whether base or lid, it's usually a B/G antenna... Either type, have
connections inside the case that can be modified. Most people do it
themselves, but there are some computer repair places that do it (nothing
cheap and off the shelf). The antenna connection comes off the card and goes
thru the card connector, to whatever is internally setup by the
manufacturer. The usually if to tap into that with a splitter/y connector,
and put an external antenna adapter (usually mini uhf) on the back of the
case. For generic external antennas (or a specific one tuned for A), that
usually works out the easiest.

What type of laptop is your antenna inside?

Different laptops have different types of internal wireless cards and
antennas. Most of them are mini-PCI cards which usually has a Hirose
u-FL connector or MC connector. However, I've seen some with other
cards, connectors, or arrangement.
