A inverted U-shape slot and inverted L-shape notch has been loaded for design of the rectangular microstrip antenna. Doing this the antenna is resonating with multi band frequency range and fractional bandwidth of multi band proposed antenna is 6.09% (lower band), 23.11% (middle band) and 12.29% (upper band) and antenna is resonating at 2.461, 3.938 and 5.579 GHz, respectively. The multi band frequency of the proposed antenna design lie in the range of 1.97-2.24, 3.30-3.65 and 4.55-5.36 GHz, respectively. This frequency band is suitable for wireless communication applications. The maximum gain of this designed antenna has been enhanced up to 4.803 dBi and antenna efficiency is 99.87%. A microstrip line feed of 50 S has been used in this proposed slotted microstrip antenna. The simulation process has been done by IE3D simulation software tool. ER -
