1. Introduction:
Recent developments in communication systems such as the global positioning systems (GPS), Wireless local network (WLAN), vehicular Satellite communication and wireless communications often require antennas with compact size, low cost and capable of operating more than one band of frequencies. M. T. Islam, N. Misram, M. N. Shakib, and M. N. A.Zamri [6] proposed study of Circularly Polarized Micro strip Patch Antenna increase the bandwidth of proposed antenna obtained is 27% (2.14-2.81GHz) at -10 dB Return Loss. A A Deshmukh and G Kumar [1] proposed compact L Shape patch broadband Microstrip antenna experimentally increase bandwidth up to 13.7%. Z M Chen [9] further increase bandwidth of this antenna up to 23.7% - 24.43%. Ahmed H.Reja [2] proposed Study of Micro Strip Feed Line Patch Antenna experimentally increase the Return Loss -33.6dB at 2.5GHz frequency and VSWR is 1.5 by using CAD (Microwave office 2000 version 3.22) for RT DUROID 5880. Santanu Kumar Behera and Y. Choukiker [8] proposed Design and Optimization of Dual Band Micro Strip Antenna using Practical the return loss for dual band Frequency at 2.4GHz is -43.95dB and at 3.08GHz is -27.4dB. K F Lee [3] proposed U Shape slot shorting post small size Microstrip Antenna and increase bandwidth up to 42%. S C Gao [7] used uniplanar photonic band gap structure for enhancing band width and gain. M Khodier [5] New wideband stacked microstrip antennas for enhancing band width. Major issue for micro strip antenna is narrow Bandwidth.

6. Conclusions:
The design optimization of a dual slot patch antenna has been presented and discussed. It has been shown that with correct selection of slot dimensions and positions, a dual frequency response can be achieved. With this antenna, we get much improved bandwidth this design is obtained method, with IE3D. The use of a planar feed presents significant advantage as it allows easier integration with associated microwave circuitry and can also be easily extended for incorporation into antenna arrays. All significantly improved in Bandwidth shown in Table -1.
