Abstract

This letter presents the design of dual band microstrip patch antenna. This antenna is with single layer E-shaped patch loaded by two U slots. The −10 dB return loss impedance bandwidths of 2.26% and 1.91% are realized at center frequencies of 10.94 GHz and 13.06 GHz with gains of 9.12 dBi and 8.54 dBi respectively. The radiation patterns are also presented. Compared with the published results of the similar scenario, in this design the size is reduced. The design guidelines are provided.
