In this paper, a crossed dipole antenna based on Pyrex Glass substrate is proposed for dual bands, GSM 900 MHz and Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz. Each dipole is placed on a side of the substrate with the antennas oriented perpendicular to each other. Both antennas participate in an omnidirectional radiation pattern in perpendicular planes to form a radiation pattern similar to the isotropic. The realised gain for each dipole and the total radiation efficiency are 1.46 dB and 88% respectively. The glass substrate provides a reduction in the antenna size of about 36% compared with typical individual elements in free space.
