Abstract
The demand for broadband antennas has increased significantly in recent years. High-frequency and high-speed data networking are found to be commonly used. The factors affecting the bandwidth of a microstrip antenna are discussed in this article. The antenna extension is regulated by two major parameters. The thickness of the dielectric substrate is one, and the material of the substrate is another. This study assesses the performance characteristics of a rectangular patch microstrip antenna with varying substrate thickness and material. The resonant frequency, bandwidth, and return loss characteristic impacts are all affected by changing one of the parameters while keeping the other unchanged. The rectangular patch microstrip antenna designed for the microstrip feed line operates at 6.85 GHz (UWB).

Keywords
Bandwidth, Microstrip antenna, UWB, Return loss, Resonant frequency.
