HIGH GAIN MICROSTRIP ARRAY ANTENNA FOR WLAN APPLICATIONS

This paper describes the design of single microstrip square patch antenna and the construction of 3 × 4 array pattern to increase the efficiency of the antenna. The operating frequency of square patch is at 2.4 Ghz. Simulation result shows that 4.67 dB gain can be achieved for single microstrip patch and 14.57 dB gain can be achieved for 3 × 4 array microstrip patch antenna. Also Simulation results shows that the return loss is –27 dB at 2.4 GHz in single patch and –25 dB for 3 x 4 array microstrip antenna. The simulation is done using ADS software
