I. INTRODUCTION
More commonly dual and triple band microstrip antenna
(MSA) is realized by cutting the slots at an appropriate
position inside the patch or by placing the stubs on the edges
of the patch [1 12]. When the polarization of the radiated
field due to the patch mode and the mode introduced by the
slot/stub, are in the same direction, a single polarization is
realized, whereas when they are orthogonal, then it realizes
dual polarization. The dual band dual polarized MSAs are
needed in applications where, transmission and reception is
needed at two different frequencies with orthogonal
polarizations. The simplest method to realize dual band and
dual polarized MSAs is by cutting the slot in the center of
rectangular or circular patch and further by feeding it along
the diagonal axis [1 3]. By cutting an offset circular slot
inside the circular MSA (CMSA), a dual band dual polarized
response with variable frequency ratio of 1 to 0.8, has been
realized [13]. The dual band dual polarized response has also
been realized by placing open circuit stubs on the edges of
compact C-shaped as well as shorted L-shaped MSAs [14].
While realizing dual frequencies, slot technique is preferred,
since it neither increases patch area nor the radiation from slot
largely affects the patch radiation pattern. As per the reported
literature on slot cut dual band MSAs, while designing slot
