A rectangular slot antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide is proposed for dual‐band wireless local area network (WLAN) operations. The measured −10‐dB bandwidth for return loss is from 2.1 to 2.95 GHz and 5.05 to 6.25 GHz, covering all the 2.4/5‐GHz WLAN bands. A multifeed four‐element planar array was designed and simulated. It shows that the features of small size, uniplanar structure, good radiation characteristics, and small mutual coupling are promising for multi‐input multi‐output applications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
