In recent years microstrip patch antennas are widely used in communication systems because of their characteristics such as low cost, low profile structure and minimal weight. Due to these characteristics, micro-strip antennas are capable of maintaining high performance over a wide spectrum of frequencies, also the size of the antenna is directly tied to the wavelength at the resonant frequency. One of the important aspects in__ampersandsignnbsp;micro-strip patch antenna is the feed applying to them. Since, the performance of the basic micro-strip patch antenna suffers from number of serious drawbacks; especially its narrow impedance bandwidth associated with probe-fed micro-strip antennas. Here, a capacitive feeding scheme is used which comprises of a radiator patch, air cavity in the substrate and a capacitively-fed in order to overcome the drawbacks associated with probe-fed. Slots are used in the radiating patch at the four sides to attain improved bandwidth. Different parameters like return loss, gain(both 2D __ampersandsignamp; 3D),VSWR, radiation patterns, E __ampersandsignamp; H fields, current distribution are simulated using Ansoft HFSS 13.0. This type of proposed patch can be used for various applications in Ku-band.&#13;
