| Abstract: | A printed slot line fed dual‐band coplanar dipole antenna having a dimension of 0.40λg × 0.20λg suitable for both 2.4 and 5.2 GHz (IEEE 802.11 b/g and 802.11 a) WLAN application is presented. The structure comprises of a slot line fed symmetrical L strips to achieve dual‐band operation. Design equations of the antenna are developed and validated on different substrates. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed antenna exhibits good impedance match, gain, and stable radiation patterns in both the frequency bands. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
