Abstract :A Dual-band microstrip antenna based on split-ring elements is introduced for GSM/DCS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(900/1800MHz); applications. The proposed split-ring antenna insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SRA); has novel design and provides 2.3% and 3.8% impedance bandwidth performance at the respective bands without a need for additional matching networks. Also, the antenna exhibits uniform radiation patterns at each frequency band. Analysis and design of the proposed microstrip antenna are carried out by means of full-wave simulators based on the finite-element method, namely the in-house Finite Element Microstrip Antenna Simulator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FEMAS); and the commercially available High Frequency Structure Simulator insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HFSS);. Return-loss characteristics of the antenna using the simulators are in good agreementKeywords : Dual band, finite element method, GSM, microstrip antenna, Split ring
