A microstrip patch filtenna inspired by defected ground structure (DGS) is presented in this article. It uses modified split ring resonator and capacitance loaded strip as a radiating element. The presented structure is incorporated with a pair of double U‐shaped DGS (DU‐DGS) to obtain filtering characteristics. The width of DU‐DGS plays a vital role in selecting attenuation poles of the filter as well as for the filtenna circuit. The separation distance between the DU‐DGS also affects the resonant frequency of the structure. Both radiation and filtration can be performed through a single structure, otherwise known as filtenna. The physical size of the proposed filtenna in terms of guided wavelength is 2.465 λ g × 1.160 λ g × 0.116 λ g at 10.8 GHz, and is comparatively less to others reported, so is considered as a superior feature. The presented filtenna possesses impedance bandwidth of 700 and 1800 MHz at 10.8 and 16.6 GHz, which covers standards of X‐ and Ku‐band, respectively. So, this can be referred to as dual band filtenna. The radiation pattern shows omnidirectionality in both E and H planes at resonance.
