Abstract In the modern days the development in communication systems engineering requires the development of low profile antennas that are capable of maintaining high performance over a wide spectrum of frequencies. In this review, we have designed an elementary Microstrip patch Antenna for ultra-wideband application. This technological trend has focused much effort on the basic concepts, characteristics and design of a Microstrip patch antenna. This paper explains the pattern of designs of the Microstrip patch antenna along with detailed study. A thorough analysis and observations of the problem begins with the application of the equivalence principle that introduces the unknown electric and magnetic surface current densities on the dielectric surface. Here in this technical review, our main goal is to design an elementary Microstrip antenna, which will work in the ultra-wide band range and also it should work in the desired operating frequency. Ansoft High Frequency Structured Simulations (HFSS) software is used for the elementary design of a rectangular patch Microstrip antenna and also some of the basic calculations has been done by using MATLAB. This review paper also comprises of basic parameters, types of antenna, working, fundamental concepts and characteristics as well as feeding techniques an
