This article proposed a compact dual band circular ring patch antenna designed for wireless communication applications. This novel method improves performance metrics by incorporating a rectangular slot into the patch, which enables operation over two different frequency bands. The addition of the slot significantly increases the return loss of the antenna, which is essential for effective wireless communication. The optimal dimensions of the proposed antenna are 15 x 15 x 2.07 mm3. The FR-4 substrate used in the prescribed design provides a cost-effective, affordable, reliable, and emergency-useful option. The suggested antenna design achieves excellent performance despite its small size by operating effectively at both 6.9 GHz and 12.2 GHz. The prescribed structure offering a bandwidth of 0.5 GHz (6.7-7.2 GHz) at 6.9 GHz and 0.6 GHz (11.9-12.5 GHz) at 12.2 GHz, along with an improved return loss of – 41 dB and – 42 dB, VSWR of 1.02 and 1.01 at resonance. These characteristics enhance the impedance matching at the respective frequencies. The simulated radiation efficiencies are 80 % and 89 %, respectively. In addition, the peak-gain of the prescribed antenna is 9.9 dBi and 9.92 dBi at the desired frequency bands. This design is perfect for wireless communication applications since it is simple, compact, and easy to carry. It also allows seamless operation over two separate frequency bands with minimum reflections.
