Design and printed prototype of a compact wideband microstrip line fed patch antenna for Ku band application is presented in this paper. The proposed new E-H shaped electrically small patch antenna has been designed and analyzed by using finite element method based high frequency electromagnetic simulator and fabricated in printed circuit board (PCB). The result of the proposed antenna prototype has measured in standard far-filed rectangular shape anechoic measurement chamber. It has been clearly observed from the measured results that, 1380 MHz of -10dB return loss bandwidth with almost stable variation of radiation pattern over entire operating frequency band are achieved. The maximum gain 7.8 dBi with 89.97% average efficiency within the operating band from 17.15 GHz–18.53 GHz makes the proposed antenna suitable for Ku band applications. The parametric analysis of the proposed antenna with four different dimension of cutting slots has also been conducted in this study.
