In this paper, the design of a compact, miniaturized, dual band patch antenna for WLAN, WIMAX applications is presented. This model makes use of a spiral resonator (etched on the ground plane of conventional patch). The conventional patch antenna resonates at a frequency of 2.785GHz while the modified antenna resonates at two frequencies of 2.45, 2.57GHz with a gain of 4.19, 4.59dB respectively...
