In this letter, a novel simple structure of dual band microstrip antenna is presented. The antenna configuration is composed of two antennas that one of these antennas is printed dipole antenna and the other one is 1 × 2 aperture coupled rectangular patch antenna array. The parameter design of each antenna, which resonating as independent antennas, is designed based on their resonating frequency. The prototype of this antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results show a good S‐parameter, reasonable gain, and stable omni‐like radiation patterns in two working frequency bands. According to measured results, the proposed dual‐ band antenna can cover 2.03–2.90 GHz, and 4.80–5.09 GHz, which are allocated for wireless applications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
