A novel miniaturized Multi-Band antenna applicable for wireless sensor network discussed here. The proposed antenna is easy to design. The geometrical structure of the microstrip antenna is a simple square patch which is implemented on single layer. The antenna fed by probe feeding technique, which is present along with the antenna radiator at the same layer. And square ring structure is introduced for achieving multiband operation. The proposed antenna exhibits better impedance matching at

Very good gain is recorded at all of the resonances. The antenna was implemented on FR 4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4, thickness of 1.66mm and loss tangent of 0.02.
