Microstrip Antenna have many advantages such as low profile, light weight, can be easily matched with microwave integrated circuits which leads to use this type of antennas in different applications, on the other side the great disadvantage of these antennas is the narrow bandwidth which is 2 to 5%. In this paper a single element circular microstrip antenna has been designed. Which has a narrow bandwidth and then a method of bandwidth enhancement has been designed. Which give the bandwidth of about 60MHz which is again much grater than that about 1.7% of a conventional circular microstrip antenna?
