Millimeter wave applications gives an efficient solution to furnish peak data rates in indoor wireless access systems. Propagation of the signal will get up-shot because of few considerations in advanced communication appliances. Superior output and high directivity antennas are mandatory to overcome these consequences. By installing unequal slots in the structure, the tree-shaped unequal slotted antenna is analyzed for the variations in impedance, directivity changes and reflection coefficient. The better quality results have been observed for the proposed structure while compare with existing structures. The maximum simulation reflection coefficient(S11) of tree-shaped unequal slotted antenna is 45.12 dB, directivity is 6.54 dBi with the efficiency of 60 % and at 60 GHz, and the measurement value of 36.35 is observed which covers the complete RADAR applications which have an unlicensed bandwidth. The dimension of tree-shaped unequal slotted antenna is observed as 12*7*0.508 mm3. The proposed tree-shaped unequal slotted antenna is well suited for millimeter-wave appliances such as Microcell, Femtocell and macrocell applications because of its good bandwidth and less dimension.
