This paper describes the design and simulation of 8-shaped patch antenna using Hfss11.1 electromagnetic simulation software with coaxial feeding technique used. The 8-shaped patch antenna is being designed for amateur radio and satellite applications and thus resonates in X-band. 8 shape microstrip antenna gives better performance in return loss, efficiency and directivity.This paper proposes the design and simulation of different stages of antenna with DGS and the performance characteristics of this antenna reported in this paper.DGS and slot cutting technique being used in this paper to enhance band width.

Keywords: Multiband, microstrip, Simulation, Return loss.Dgs.
