Abstract: This paper describes the design, development and experimental results of double octagonal shape microstrip antenna(DOMA) for various applications in high microwave frequency range. A considerable emphasis is placed on the designing of rectangular microstrip antenna through AUTOCAD software and obtaining antenna results on Network Analyzer. The design considerations are given for microstripline feed rectangular microstrip antenna operating at a frequency of 3.7 GHz. In this paper, particular attention is also paid to the measurement of return losses (RL) and bandwidth of the RMSA and DOMA with the help of VSWR for the designed antenna.The impedance bandwidth of DOMAis enhanced from 2.06% to37%. The design procedure and results are presented and discussed
