In this study, new structures of circular microstrip antennas, which operating in X-band frequency using etched slots on the patch radiating, are designed and simulated. These slots are rectangular and crescent shapes in different sizes. The proposed structures are fed by a coaxial line feed. The antennas designed are simulated and studied in order to obtain the optimum performance of the proposed antenna using Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator. The simulated results were discussed in terms of reflection coefficient, input impedance, gain, radiation patterns and surface currents. It is found that the optimum antenna design has resonance frequency 9.346 GHz with a bandwidth of reflection coefficient of 705 MHz, which is required for X-band applications. Therefore, this optimum designed is helpful for many applications in the system of modern wireless communication.
