A novel rectangular microstrip patch is designed using proximity coupled feeding technique for wireless applications. In this paper, the proposed structure is designed at 5.2GHz and compares the performances of single element, 2-element and 4-element at same operating frequency. This antenna array has been designed, simulated and analysed on FR4 epoxy with dielectric constant 4.4 by which return loss, VSWR, gain, directivity and radiation pattern are computed. The main aspect of this paper is to design a high directivity antenna with high gain which covers broadband to cover C-band applications such as WiMAX, long distance radio telecommunications and satellite communications.
