In this article, a multi-slot defective ground structured microstrip patch antenna with a square shape for various letter band applications is proposed. The proposed structure was designed using a polyimide dielectric material with 2mm thickness, which has a dielectric constant of 3.5. The total size of the antenna is 20 ( 20 ( 2.07 mm3. The proposed antenna achieves triple band operation while preserving a compact radiator size. The designed radiator has the capability to operate across three separate frequency bands, spanning from 4.2 to 5 GHz, 9.3 to 9.9 GHz, and 12.7 to 13.4 GHz, with three separate resonance frequencies of 4.6, 9.6, and 13.1 GHz, respectively. A peak gain of 8.2, 6.8 and 7.4 dBi, radiation efficiency of 91, 83 and 89 % are attained at resonance. A comprehensive parametric analysis was conducted utilizing the CST simulator to improve performance over the operational frequency range with respect to reflection coefficient (S11). Additionally, we examine the impacts of various conductive materials (aluminum, gold, iron and copper) and dielectric materials (FR-4, Topas, Quartz Lossy and Polyimide) on the response of the suggested antenna. The antenna design methodology, as well as the analysis of field and current distributions are presented. The prescribed triple band defective ground structure patch antenna can be used for C-, X- and Ku-band applications.
