Abstract: In this paper, a microstrip antenna is presented. It has an H-shaped patch which uses meandered slots an H-shaped DGS beneath the microstrip line to support multiband operation with enhanced bandwidth. The simulated and measured results are plotted to see the performance of the antenna in terms of S11 parameter. The proposed designed resonates at 3.56, 8.04 and 10.57 GHz with a peak gain of 8.39 dB with considerable impedance bandwidth and return loss values at the desired bands. The radiation pattern plots show the conformability with the application it is designed for. The planar structure with a water-resistant substrate makes it suitable for weather radar and other 5G applications.
