A dual and wideband single‐element rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) excited by a microstrip aperture is investigated experimentally. It provides two passbands in the ranges of 2.21–2.855 GHz and 4.385–5.455 GHz, which are popular bands for wireless local‐area networks (WLANs). The return loss, antenna gain, and radiation patterns of the proposed configuration are measured. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
