A shared aperture multi-band antenna is described. The antenna includes a dielectric circuit board, a folded dipole microstrip antenna, and a lumped inductor. The folded dipole microstrip antenna is formed on a top side of the dielectric circuit board. The microstrip antenna includes two meander paths. The two meander paths enclose a shared aperture therebetween. The lumped inductor is inserted across a first gap near the third edge. A first pair of parallel metallic patches, a second pair of parallel metallic patches, and a third pair of parallel metallic patches are located on the bottom side. The antenna resonates in a dual band frequency range comprising a first resonance band in a range of 0.4 GHz to 0.6 GHz and a second resonance band in a range of 4.7 GHZ to 5.8 GHz upon application of an input signal at both a first feed port and a second feed port.
