This paper demonstrate simple, low cost Hexaband microstrip antenna with suitable feeding technique and dielectric substrate for applications in GHz frequency range. The optimum design parameters of the antenna are selected to achieve the improved bandwidth, high gain as well as best possible characteristics such as better radiation pattern, low SWR etc. Designed antenna achieved a bandwidth of 46 % resonating at six different bands between L to Ku band frequency ranges. Effect of slot on the patch is studied experimentally for enhancing the bandwidth. Designed antennas are suitable for L to Ku-band applications of wireless systems. Details of antenna design and results are discussed.
