In this thesis, a novel technique to enhance bandwidth of rectangular microstrip antenna array four element utilizing the embedded an adjustable stub-loading is proposed. Stub-loading dimensions have been simulated in which their dimensions are chosen in one variation only, 0,5?d x 2 mm. The Antenna was operate in 2,3GHz, with 3,12% / 71,70MHz. After utilizing the embedded an adjustable stub-loading, with stub-loading configuration in coordinate 1, 2, 3, 4 with position +4, +4, +4, +4, the maximum bandwidth achievement is 6,14%/149,2MHz, in 2,3568GHz-2,506GHz, with VSWR 1,027 in 2,3875GHz, another maximum bandwidth achievement is in coordinate 1, with position +4, the bandwidth is 5,38% / 124,4MHz, in 2,2817GHz-2,4061GHz, with VSWR 1,177 in 2,3125GHz. Antenna gains are 7,968dB for 2,2695GHz, 7,7364dB for 2,3GHz, and 5,936dB for 2,3452GHz. <br /> <br />
