Abstract: Two low profile antennas using FR4 and Rogers RT/duroid 5880 as dielectric materials are proposed in this manuscript. To obtain the broadband response the strip-slot hybrid structure is introduced. The two antennas proposed in this manuscript consist of four strips that are segregated through three narrow tapered slots. Using the aperture couple microstrip feed line proper impedance matching is obtained and the slotted patch structure is excited. The simulated bandwidth of 45% is obtained by using the Rogers RT/duroid 5880 as dielectric material with stacked patch structure and gain obtained to be 9.02dB resonating at 4.2GHz of frequency. Proposed design using FR4 as the dielectric material has two resonance frequencies at 4.8GHz and 6.2GHz. The simulated bandwidth of 50% at 4.8GHz and 38.71% at 6.2GHz is obtained with gain of 6.040dB at 4.8GHz. A prototype of the same antenna using the FR4 as dielectric material is also constructed and tested, the tested results shows an impedance bandwidth of 21.87%
