Abstract This paper proposed a novel design of hepta-band microstrip patch antenna which is realized by a rectangular patch. The proposed patch antenna resonates between 1 and 9 GHz at seven distinct frequencies which covers L-, S- and C-band. The proposed microstrip patch antenna was designed using IE3D v. 15.00 simulation tool and have to achieve seven distinct band by using the combination of photonic band-gap (PBG) structure and stacking. The reflected power and resonating frequency of each bands are − 28.43 dB, − 14.57 dB, − 14.47 dB, − 21.53 dB, − 14.32 dB, − 29.47 dB and − 12.20 dB at 1.72 GHz, 2.36 GHz, 3.08 GHz, 3.64 GHz, 5 GHz, 6.16 GHz and 7.32 GHz respectively. And also, have shown its performance improvement by the use of the PBG structure and stacking.

1 Introduction Microstrip patch antenna draws the attention of researcher due to its light weight, low cost, low-profile structure, ease of fabrication, multiband and its wide range of applications in wireless communication. But the microstrip patch antenna’s narrow bandwidth and lowgain limits its applications [1, 2]. There have been numerous ways to increase its bandwidth, such as increasing the size of the dielectric or reducing the dielectric constant of the substrate. But increasing substrate size will increase losses due to substrate and surface waves that reduce antenna efficiency [3]. The use of PBG structure improves the performance of patch antenna by suppressing the surface waves propagation in the substrate [4, 5]. E. Yablonovitch gave the concept of “Photonic Band Gap” in 1987 [6]. PBG structure disallows the propagation of EM waves in a specific frequency band [7]. In recent year, multiband antenna has excellent demand because one multiband antenna can be used for two or more applications (A. Agarwal et  al. 2016) [8].

high gain multiband antenna is exceptionally complex issue. Multiband operation can be achieved by various ways such as cutting or digging ground plane (R. Razali et al. 2009 and A. Kaur et al. 2015) [9, 10], slot loaded patch (G. Sami et al. 2013 and M. R Ahsan et  al. 2014) [11, 12], parasitic patches (T. H. Jang et  al. 2016) [13], patch with inverted L-shaped slot with defected ground (A. Kundu et al. 2015) [14], stack antenna (H. Malekpoora et al. 2019) [15], sierpinski gasket antenna in multilayer structure (J. Malik et al. 2013) [16]. In the suggested microstrip patch antenna, there are two layers of dielectric glass epoxy (FR-4) substrate. They’re stacked over each other. In which, one la
