ABSTRACT A new design of dual band compact microstrip antenna is proposed for Ku-band
applications. Dual band is achieved using three pairs of thin slits from the sides of a
rectangular patch and feeding with a microstrip feed line. The result shows that a return loss
of-32.9 dB is achieved at the first resonant frequency of 12.72 GHz, and-14.4 dB is obtained
at the second resonant frequency of 14.4 GHz frequency with VSWR≤ 2indicating improved
matching conditions. The results ofsimulation are return loss, radiation pattern, VSWR, and …

A new design of dual band compact microstrip antenna is proposed for Ku-band
applications. Dual band is achieved using three pairs of thin slits from the sides of a
rectangular patch and feeding with a microstrip feedline. The antenna has a compact
structure and the total size is 9.50 mm by 10 mm by 0.254 mm. The result shows that the
return loss of-23.83 dB is achieved at the first resonant frequency of 12.54 GHz and-14.04
dB is obtained at the second resonant frequency of 14.15 GHz. The antenna gives a stable …
