Design and Simulation of High Gain Microstrip Patch Antenna Array

Microstrip antennas have number of advantages as compared to conventional microwave antennas are light weight, low volume, low fabrication cost and easy integration on Integrated Circuits. Microstrip Antennas are low bandwidth, low efficiency and low gain antennas with low power handling capacity. The gain of an antenna is directly proportional to the (effective) aperture area of an antenna. Array configuration can provide large aperture area than single patch element. So the microstrip patch array antenna is suitable for the gain enhancement. For large coverage area and good signal strength the gain of the antenna must be moderately high, but the disadvantage of microstrip patch antenna is low gain. Effective parameters are considered in proposed solution. Microstrip Patch antenna with array configuration is probable solution of this problem definition.
