In this paper, a slotted microstrip patch antenna for C Band applications is presented. The proposed antenna resonates at a frequency of 4.39 GHz having a return loss values of -33.8 dB, with a peak gain of 4.33 dB and have a bidirectional radiation pattern. The bandwidth of the proposed design is 2.68 GHz. A polygon slot is cut in the radiating patch for size reduction as well as making the antenna to have multidimensional characteristics with improvement in antenna parameters like gain etc. The FR4 epoxy with permittivity of 4.4 is used as a substrate with dimensions of 30mm x 30mm in X and Y directions and having a thickness of 1mm. The microstrip feed of size 10mm x 2mm is used in the proposed design. The proposed antenna is simulated using Ansoft HFSS software and results obtained for the proposed design are optimized, and they exhibit better radiation characteristics within the C-Band frequency range.
