In this paper, we demonstrate a new and simple dual‐band design of a printed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a crisscross monopole element with a microstrip feedline and a conductor‐backed parasitic plane. The crisscross monopole and the conductor‐backed parasitic plane are designed to achieve 2.4‐ and 5.2‐GHz dual‐band operations for WLAN applications. The measured impedance bandwidth for 10‐dB return loss is from 1.72 to 2.87 GHz and 4.41 to 6.09 GHz, covering the 2.4‐ and 5.2‐GHz WLAN standards. The measured radiation patterns exhibit typical monopole‐antenna radiation characteristics. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
