This paper presents a dual-band printed dipole antenna for unidirectional radiation. The antenna is designed for the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system that operating on both the frequency ranges of 2.400 – 2.483 GHz and 5.15 – 5.85 GHz. Radiated elements of the antenna are flat conductors on the surface of FR4 printed circuit board. All elements are on the same side of FR4. Coaxial line is chosen for feeding. It makes the antenna good matching and easy to assembly. The antenna is simulated by computer program before fabricating a prototype. It provides omni-directional radiation but has a direction with the gain about 5 dBi at the central of both operating frequencies. It is appropriate for the system that desired the signal to radiate surround but has some direction together. The size of the antenna is 44.0 × 60.0 mm2. Advantages of the antenna are low profile structure, light weight, and can be fabricated with cheap material. So, it is a low-cost antenna.
