Abstract
Due to their low cost, low profile and ease of manufacturing in the circuit
boards, microstrip antennas have become a part and parcel of today's wireless
communication world. But poor performance, such as low capacity handling,
narrow bandwidth, low gain, etc. In some cases, limit their application. Since
high frequency bands will be used in the upcoming wireless communication
of the 5th generation (5 G), it will be severely affected by path loss. High
gain antenna is required to manage this problem. So the main concern of this
research work is to design a high gain 2×2 microstrip patch antenna array.
The simulation is performed by using the simulation software Computer
Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio which is a commercially
available electromagnetic simulator based on finite difference time domain
technique. The gain, bandwidth, return loss, VSWR and efficiency of the
designed 2×2 array antenna is 23.8 dBi, 600MHz, 74.3dB, 1 and almost 99%
respectively.
