The aim of this paper is to design the effective shape of a microstrip patch antenna which can provide lower return losses, better gain and performance for X-band (2 GHz to12 GHz), Ku-band (12 GHz to 18 GHz) and K-band (18 GHz to 26 GHz) applications. Attempts have been made to optimize the antenna...
