The addition of slot with U shape aims to reduce return loss and VSWR from antenna, beside that giving U slot also can reduce the dimension of antenna to be more compact. The proposed antenna have been design. The proposed antenna, designed and realized using a FR4 Epoxy substrate with a dielectric constant ({\ensuremath{\epsilon}}r) of 4.3, a thickness (h) of 1.6 mm and a loss tan (tan {\ensuremath{\alpha}}) of 0.0265 . From the measurement result obtained return loss of -22.95 dB and VSWR of 1.1.5 at working frequency of 2300 MHz with bandwidth of 250 MHz (2100 -2350 MHz). The addition of U slot has been successfully improved the value of return loss until 43 \% and VSWR until 15 \% compared with truncated microstrip antenna without U slot. Beside that, the dimension of microstrip antenna have been reduced until 17.87 \% after using U slot.}, author = {Alam, Syah and Ningsih, Yuli Kurnia and Junfithrana, Anggy Pradiftha and Ramza, Harry and Surjati, Indra and Upa, Markus} }
