This work aims to analyze the factors that influence the radiation properties of dualband microstrip antenna using periodic structures based on Photonic Band Gap with hexagonal symmetry. An increase in bandwidth and a reduction of return loss for the second operating band of the antenna were observed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 57:2147–2151, 2015
