Narrow bandwidth is the main problem of a microstrip antenna. Enhanced bandwidth is done by applying a partial ground plane. The antenna patch layer is a circular formed based on the formula to obtain its initial dimension. The dimension is used as a base for the antenna design with ground plane reduction. The antenna is designed using FR4, which has a thickness of 1.6 mm with a dielectric constant of 4.3. Simulation results from the design of partial ground plane antennas on WiMAX and WLAN band frequencies showed an increase in bandwidth of 3.14 GHz with minimum return loss values of -17.01 dB, gain antenna of 1.32 dB and a directional radiation pattern.
