In this communication the inclined slot loaded rectangular microstrip patch antenna fed by microstripline is presented for modern communication system. The antenna is housed in a volume of 5X3X0.16cm3. The low loss tangent and commercially available modified glass epoxy substrate material is used for the fabrication of the antenna. The design concept is presented. The proposed antenna gives a maximum bandwidth of 20.78% and overall bandwidth of 44.49% with operating range of 8.28 GHz to 12 GHz. The antenna shows broadside and linear radiation characteristics with a peak gain of 7.08 dB. The experimental and simulated results are compared. This antenna may find its applications in X-band range communication systems.
