A novel dual‐frequency design of a square microstrip antenna coaxially fed along the diagonal with a chip capacitor mounted at the bottom of the stub is introduced. This design provides enhanced area reduction and good cross‐polarization levels. The antenna design can be used as a compact antenna system where limited size is a major requirement. The details of the antenna design and experimental results are presented. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 32: 7–9, 2002.
