Abstract: Present communication requires antennas with multiple band characteristics for supporting different wireless applications. The proposed antenna model is designed and simulated with the help of HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) of 14.0 version. Microstrip antenna is designed by the Rogers/duroid 5880 ™ substrate with a dielectric constant ( r ) of 2.2 having 0.6mm thickness. The proposed design composed of octagonal spiral antenna with a feed width of 1 mm using the Microstrip feeding technique. The exhibited Return loss are -32.4dB, -13.3dB, -20.6dB,-15dB, -18.8dB, -12dB, -12.3dB, -13.3dB at the frequencies are 31.9GHz, 34.8GHz, 35.7GHz, 36.8GHz, 43GHz, 46.8GHz, 59.3GHz, 64.3GHz with VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) between the acceptable range of 1 and 2. The observed results are applicable in Ka-band, Q-band, and U-band respectively.
