In this paper a small size printed microstrip antenna for X and Ku band applications is suggested. The suggested antenna consists of an arrow shaped patch on front view of FR 4 substrate and a partial ground on the other side. The overall size of the antenna is 12 x 15 x 1.6 mm3. The antenna parameters are optimized using FEM based HFSS software. The operating range of frequencies include from 7.4 GHz to 19.2 GHz. The proposed antenna displays a good omnidirectional radiation pattern and gain.
