A dual-band broadband annular-ring slot microstrip antenna is designed. Its structure is simple. This antenna is analyzed and optimized by using the IE3D software. The annular-ring slot and coupled microstrip feed-line are built on the FR4 printed board. The two resonant frequencies of the proposed antenna are decided by the radius of the annular-ring slot. The prototype are fabricated and measured. The two resonant frequencies are 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz. At 2.4GHz, input impedance bandwidth is 22% for the S11 < -10 dB, with the peak gain on the order of 7.37dBi. At 5.8GHz, input impedance bandwidth is 13.7% for the S11 < -10 dB, with the peak gain on the order of 12.8Bi. It is suitable for WLAN applications.
