How to calculate spacing in a dual band microstrip antenna using LPA technique?

[vb_vaibhav]

hi.....

I want to design a dual band microstrip antenna operating at frequency 2.4 and 5.5 GHz.

i want to use log periodic antenna technique.......but how to calculate the spacing between two of the elements..........
is it λ/2 ???

plzzz help
