This antenna is excited by microstrip line. Direct microstrip coupling with proper matching transformer has been used. Design is made for optimized notch dimension for two resonant fre- quencies. These resonance frequencies change with the variation in length and width of the notch. The input impedance and VSWR have been measured with the help of Network analyzer. It is found that the input im- pedance and VSWR depends variation in length and width of the notch microstrip antenna.

Microstrip antennas are receiving much attention at pre- sent because they offer many practical advantages such as small size, lightweight, low cost and a low profile ease of fabrication and integration with RF devices [1]. In the recent years, radar, satellite communication wireless net- works such as global positioning system (GPS), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), often require dual frequency patch antenna to avoid the use of two different antennas. An ideal dual-frequency antenna should have similar per- formance in both operating modes. One of the principal disadvantages of such antenna is narrow bandwidth. Re- cently several papers [2–4] have been published treating notch microstrip antenna to achieve dual b
