In this design study, the main purpose was to design a six shape micro strip antenna. Previous works are also dealing with the bandwidth increasing techniques by changes on the geometry. Some articles and applications are examined about micro strip antennas. There is a six shape antenna which operates in L band, but they do have a wider bandwidth. The development of antenna for wireless communication also requires an antenna with more than one operating frequencies. This is due to many reasons, mainly because there are various wireless communication systems and many telecommunication operators using various frequencies. However, the general micro strip patch antennas have some disadvantages such as narrow bandwidth etc. Enhancement of the performance to cover the demanding bandwidth is necessary. Among these standards, the following frequency bands can be mentioned:1) PCS-1900 requires a band of 1.85 - 1.99 GHz; 2) IEEE 802.11b/g requires a band of 2.4 - 2.484 GHz; 3) IEEE 802.11a requires a band of 5.15 - 5.35 GHz and an additional band of 5.725 - 5.825 GHz; 4) HiperLAN2 requires a band of 5.47 - 5.725 GHz besides the band of 5.15 - 5.35 GHz. Microstrip antennas are very attractive because of their low profile, conformal to the surface of objects and easy production.
