Abstract: This study present a simple and slotted wideband microstrip patch antenna for wireless communication system. A U-shape slot has been loaded for design of the rectangular microstrip antenna. Doing this the bandwidth of antenna is improved upto 25.80%. The frequency of the proposed antenna design lie in the range of 1.847-2.394 GHz. This frequency band is suitable for wireless communication applications. The narrow bandwidth is major disadvantage of microstrip patch antenna hence this study provide an alternative solution for increase the bandwidth. The maximum gain of this designed antenna has been enhanced up to 3.11 dBi and radiation efficiency is 95.61%. A microstrip line feed of 50 Ω has been used in this proposed slotted microstrip antenna. The simulation process has been done by IE3D simulation software tool.
