## Abstract This paper investigates the dual‐frequency operation of a stacked microstrip antenna based on a small parasitic patch inserted slightly above an EBG patch. It is shown that the periodic texture of the EBG patch exhibits different behaviours for each frequency. It is also demonstrated th

Abstract
A novel low‐cost low‐profile dual‐frequency circularly polarized patch antenna for GPS applications is presented. By stacking two square patches with truncated corners on a two‐layer fractal electromagnetic bandgap structure substrate, the coverage of the entire GPS bandwidth is achieved. Two bandgaps exist for the proposed fractal EBG structure, from 1.16 to 1.32 GHz and from 1.45 to 2.10 GHz, which include the lower and upper frequency GPS band. The antenna is low‐profile and has improved gain and axial ratio bandwidth, as well as broader impedance bandwidths compared to the same antenna without EBG. Good circularly polarized radiation patterns are realized. Measurements on prototypes are in good agreement with simulation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A novel low‐profile monopole mobile phone antenna capable of GSM and DCS dual‐band operations is proposed. The monopole antenna is easily constructed by folding a planar meandered patch into a rectangular‐tube‐like structure, and has a compact size of 9 × 9 × 34 mm^3^ for achieving 900‐
