This paper overviews the effects of ground planes on proposed microstrip dipole antennas at a centre frequency of 2.4 GHz. By using the shorting plane technique 23.25% bandwidth with minimum return loss of -36 db is obtained. With this technique dual band microstrip dipole antenna is obtained. These antennas are designed on a FR-4 substrate on double sided PCB with a dielectric constant of 4.4. These antennas are low cost, easy to design, light weight and easy to convince for mass production.
