Microstrip antenna is an essential choice for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications of its light weight, low profile and easy to form antenna arrays. However, the design of microstrip patch antenna bandwidth is greatly affects by the dielectric substrate material (FR4). In this research, the bandwidth enhancement of MPA was designed by minimizing the dimension of Defected GP (DGP) in GP for Ultra Wide Band wireless applications. But, the antenna design complexity increases with the number of an operating frequency band. In this research, the MPA was designed as small as size of 10×13×1.6 mm and operates on frequency band between 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz for VSWR less than 2. The microstrip patch antenna was designed at 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz using High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. The simulation result shows that the proposed microstrip patch antenna obtained <-10dB of return loss from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz throughout the frequency range. The measured result proves that the proposed microstrip patch antenna has better characteristics to fulfill the requirements of UWB applications


A spiral fork shaped hexagonal micro strip patch antenna is designed to operate at different frequencies, which are in ultra-wide band range (3.1-10.6GHz). The newly presented antenna is simulated on a Flame Retardant - 4 (FR4) epoxy material with dielectric constant 4.4and overall size of structure is 28*28mm2 . Coplanar waveguide feeding (CPW) is used in this design for easy simulation. This proposed triband structure resonates at 1.36GHz, 5.74GHz and 8.8GHz. The proposed pentaband antenna resonates at 2.38GHz, 3.64GHz, 6.76GHz, 7.36GHz and 8.98GHz with corresponding impedance bandwidths are 200MHz, 70MHz, 170MHz, 520MHz and 420MHz. The peak gains at their resonant frequencies are 1.77dB, 2.45dB, 3.53dB, 4.54dB and 2.28dB respectively with good radiation characteristics. These antennas are suitable for S - , C - and X - band applications.
