This perturbation applies both dual-mode and orthogonal mode effects existing in the square loop resonator to present wide-band and CP characteristics simultaneously. The stack antenna presents the desired bands of 2.46 GHz with bandwidth (BW) = 160 MHz (6.58%) and 5.28 GHz with BW = 450 MHz (8.52%). The circular polarizations for dual-band are demonstrated with axial ratio (AR) spectrum and orthogonal modes. The proposed antenna is successfully simulated and measured with frequency responses, radiation patterns and current distributions. %U http://www.jpier.org/pierc/pier.php?paper=10100902
