A new compact printed monopole antenna with dual‐wideband characteristics is presented for simultaneously satisfying wireless local area network and worldwide interoperability for microwave access applications. The antenna structure consists of a circular monopole with a microstrip feed‐line for excitation and a hexagon conductor‐backed parasitic plane. The antenna has a small size of 13 mm × 26 mm × 1 mm. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2011.
