In this paper, a new design method is proposed for a planar and compact dual-band dipole antenna. The dipole antenna has arms as a hybrid CRLH (Composite right- and left-handed) transmission-line comprising distributed and lumped elements for the dual-band function. The two arms are fed by the outputs of a compact and printed CRLH dual-band balun which consists of a CRLH hybrid coupler and an additional CRLH phase-shifter. Its operational frequencies are 2.4 and 5.2 GHz as popular mobile applications. Verifying the method, the circuit approach, EM (Electromagnetics) simulation and measurement are conducted and their results turn out to agree well with each other. Additionally, the CRLH property is shown with the dispersion diagram and the effective size-reduction is mentioned.

A composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) composed of a substrate and X-shaped metal patches is proposed and investigated theoretically as well as experimentally. The scattering parameters are investigated both in electromagnetic (EM) simulation and equivalent circuit model simulation, it is found that the structure works as a dual band CRLH-TL having the first right-handed passband and the second balanced CRLH frequency band at the resonant frequencies of 6.27 GHz and 13.45 GHz, respectively. Moreover, the required equations and the dispersion diagram derived from the equivalent circuit model to analyze the proposed CRLH structure give strong support to the interpretation of all EM phenomena. The effect of the equivalent circuit model parameters on the dispersion diagram is investigated. A parallel-plate waveguide (PPW) measurement system is employed to validate the characteristics of the CRLH-TL whose features show that the design of the novel artificial TLs is more flexible and convenient.
