The invention discloses an electromagnetic band gap structure based dual-frequency microstrip array antenna with high isolation. The dual-frequency microstrip array antenna comprises two oscillators of the array antenna and an L-shaped electromagnetic band gap unit organized array, wherein the L-shaped electromagnetic band gap unit organized array is loaded between the two oscillators, the two oscillators and the L-shaped electromagnetic band gap unit organized array are all supported on a FR4 dielectric substrate, each oscillator comprises a high-frequency monopole, a low-frequency monopole, a microstrip feeder line and metal ground, the high-frequency monopole and the lower-frequency monopole are connected with the microstrip feeder line, the microstrip feeder line is inserted into the metal ground, the L-shaped electromagnetic band gap unit organized array comprises a plurality of L-shaped electromagnetic bang gap units arranged in an array, each L-shaped electromagnetic band gap unit comprises an electromagnetic band gap metal patch, and the electromagnetic band gap metal patch is connected with a ground floor on other side via a conductive via hole in the middle. In the dual-frequency microstrip array antenna, the working frequency band is 2.27-2.67GHz and 5.29-7.09GHz, and the frequency band range of WLAN is completely covered; and the electromagnetic band gap structure with dual-band gap characteristic is loaded between oscillator units, and thus, the antenna has relatively high isolation in dual frequency bands.
