<abstract>In this paper a printed micro strip line fed wide slot antenna is presented. A slotted parasitic patch is introduced to improve the gain along with the bandwidth. For bandwidth improvement a slotted technique is used in ground of the antenna along with rotation in patch and a simple 50 Ώ microstrip line fed is used to excite the slot in the antenna. Various parameters such as return loss, bandwidth and gain are analyzed and discussed in this paper. The result shows that a good amount of bandwidth (3.2 GHz) and gain (approx. 6.63 dB) is achieved ranging from 2.23 to 5.4 GHz which shows its application in WIMAX and WLAN bands and is compared with a printed antenna without parasitic patch. The area the of proposed design is miniaturized up to 77%.The printed designs of antenna are simulated by using Ansoft HFSS software version 14.</abstract>
