In this paper, a monopole antenna with two symmetric L strips is proposed. Closed rings on either side have been introduced to enhance the bandwidth of the proposed antenna. The antenna geometry is fed with a microstrip line. The proposed geometry is designed on easily available FR4_epoxy dielectric material and the dimensions of the dielectric substrate used are of 50 mm x 50 mm x 1 mm. Antenna geometry’s performance is investigated in the frequency range between 2 GHz to 7 GHz. To validate the design, proposed geometry was fabricated and tested. Antenna impedance bandwidth of 86.3% was obtained in the operating band of 2.5GHz to 6.3GHz. Measured results fairly agree with the simulated data.
