In this article, a novel dual‐band microstrip monopole antenna based on split‐ring elements is proposed for WLAN (2.4/5 GHz) applications. The antenna fed by a two‐stage microstrip line has fairly small dimensions and provides 7.5 and 25.5% impedance bandwidth performance at the respective bands. Also, the antenna exhibits almost uniform radiation patterns at each frequency band. The measurement results of the fabricated antenna are in good agreement with the simulations. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
