Abstract—In this paper we present the design of a Microstrip has more control of the feed of each element (amplitude and
Array Antenna, where return losses below than 10 dB at phase) and it is ideal for scanning phased arrays, multibeam
resonance frequency. Operating frequency of the antenna is 2.4 arrays, or shaped-beam arrays. The radiated field formula is
GHz, so is suitable for L-band and S-band application. In order
to design and simulate we used the Ansoft Designer software, given in Equation is same for this array and array factor as
for the implementation and testing we used glass epoxy Fr-4 given in:
substrate. This antenna offers a bandwidth of 1.25 percent

I. INTRODUCTION Combining the element radiation pattern and array factor

I crowave equipments require low profile and light- we get the normalized power radiation pattern. The substrate
M weight to assure reliability, an antenna with these
characteristics is essentially required and a microstrip antenna
permittivity of the antenna is Er=4.4, height is 1.58 mm and
resonance frequency of the antenna is 2.4 GHz, this can be
satisfies such requirement. [1] used in band WLAN system.
The key features of a microstrip antenna are relative ease of
construction, light weight, low cost and either conformability

protrusion from the surface. Microstrip arrays are limited in
that they tend to radiate efficiently only over a narrow band In Fig 1. we observed the design of the array antenna with
of frequencies and they can not operate at the high power adaptation λ/4yinAnsof Designersof tware
levels of waveguide, coaxial line, or even stripline [2].
In various communications and radar systems microstrip
antenna is greatly desired. Microstrip antennas are very
versatile and are used, among other things, to synthesize
a required pattern that cannot be achieved with a single
element.[3].
In addition, they are used to scan the beam of an antenna
system, increase the directivity, and perform various other
functions which would be difficult with any one single
element.[4].
The elements can be fed by a single line or by multiple lines
in a feed network arrangement. The first is referred to as
a series-feed network while the second is referred to as a
corporate-feed network [5].

The corporate-feed network is used to provide power splits
of 2n (i.e., n = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.). This is accomplished
by using wavelength impedance transformers. Corporate-fed The TABLE I shows the dimensions for the slot and

In the Fig 2 As a result the necessary frequencies were

obtained with the reformed antenna measurements. The mea-
surements and the frequency of work are more real. We
observe it in the first instance fc = 2.4 GHz this is the main
frequency, with a bandwidth of 1.25 percent. The application Fig. 4: Radiation pattern 3D
of this antenna for the frequency of 2.4 GHz focuses on
applications in suitable L-band and S-band and gain -30 dB.
In the Fig 5. We note that the coupling of the antenna with
the 50-ohm power line is acceptable as the reactance value is
close to zero and the resistance value is close to 50-ohms

V. CONCLUSIONS
• The His results show that the antenna is operating at a
frequency of 2.4 Ghz with return losses of -30 dBs, which
indicates the correct operation of the same. We also have
a percentage of bandwidth of 1.25 percent.
