Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The authors present the Design of a wide bandwidth, high gain and easy to manufacture 2.4 GHz floating-patch antenna fed with the through-wire technique. The paper is well written but the structure presented is not a novelty and the contribution is not clear.
In table 2, some works are compared with only one at 2.4 GHz, it is nor enough for a comparison.
Moreover, using two pieces of Rogers substrates, in my opinion, the structure is not low cost.

Reviewer 2 Report
Nicely written paper, yet it lacks novelty. Serach the following keywords: suspended patch antenna, air-gap patch antenna, and metallic patch antenna.

Reviewer 3 Report
Authors in this research article have presented and investigated Design of a wide bandwidth, high gain and easy to manufacture 2.4 GHz floating-patch antenna fed with the through-wire technique. The topic and concept of the paper are interesting and it includes promising results. Prior to final acceptance recommendation the authors are encouraged to address the following comments.
1. Its language needs some minor modifications.
2. Figure 6 What does the last figure justify? (radiation patern in XY plane)
3. Reference 8 is more broadband than the antenna proposed by the authors. What advantage does the proposed antenna have over reference 8?
4. According to the title of the article (wide bandwidth, high gain and patch antenna), the author should discuss more references about the antenna and fed miccrostrip antenna. The following resources may be helpful.
-“ Wideband linear microstrip array antenna with high efficiency and low side lobe level” Int J RF Microw Comput Aided Eng. 2020”
- “Design of a 1*4 Microstrip Antenna Array on the Human Thigh with Gain Enhancement, IETE Journal of Research”

Reviewer 4 Report
The authors have discussed about the feasibility study for designing a floating patch antenna structure fed with a probe from a microstrip. The authors should resolve below issues:
1. Describe why using this specific dielectric in detail in the introduction section, however various other better materials are available.
2. Since there are various existing works related to this work, therefore to improve the quality, the authors should add a Fabrication process at this stage.
3. Author claims that a rectangular patch is better, for this, they should add some reason for this used shape of the patch.
4. Mathematical justification should be added in the manuscript to justify the simulation result. Merely simulation doesn't indicate the novelty of work.
5. For a journal paper generally references should be between 25 to 50
6. This work is not related to applied science, it is related to materials/devices, therefore, authors should add 1-2 paragraphs about the science specifically.
