Abstract: 
According to recent study, adopting the correct dielectric substrate for the future generation of wireless communications can improve antenna performance. In this paper, an attempt is made to design a microstrip feed line microstrip antenna structure for S band application using a variety of substrate materials like Rogers RT Duroid 5870, Rogers RO3003, FR4- epoxy, Bakellite and Glass with relative permittivity of (εr) 2.33, 3, 4.4, 4.8 and 5.5. Analyse S11, VSWR and observe the impact of various parameters by changing height for all substrate in terms of return losses. Ansoft HFSS 13.0 antenna software was used to design and create the matching network of a Microstrip Patch Antenna at 2.4 GHz.
