            Abstract : 
In this paper, a stacked square MSA with a shorting post for VICS and ETC dual band operation has been proposed. The wideband operation has been achieved by enlarging the distance between the upper and lower patches. Moreover, the antenna size has been reduced by inserting the slits in the square patches
