Design and implementation of microstrip patch antenna array

This paper refers to a detailed analysis on the design and implementation of 4×1 and 8×1 microstrip patch antenna (array) of given specifications using IE3D software and a dielectric material FR4 with dielectric substrate permittivity of 4.28, tangent loss of 0.002 and height of 1.6 mm. The microstrip patch antenna array is designed for WLAN applications, at an operating frequency of 2.4 GHz with microstrip line feed and power dividers.
