A novel design of square microstrip antenna is designed for dual band operation. By embedding unequal length inverted right angle slot at optimum place on the square patch, the upper operating band enhanced from 27.53 to 60.01% with minimum change in the lower operating band retaining the nature of broad side radiation characteristics. The proposed antennas may find application in radar communication. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
