Abstract: This study interprets the design and analysis of four element and eight element microstrip array antenna for C-band applications such as, many satellite communication transmissions, some Wi-Fi devices, some cordless telephones as well as some surveillance and weather radar systems. The performance and few advantages of microstrip antenna made them an area of interest for wireless power transmission applications. In this paper an attempt is made to improve the return loss and gain of an antenna by designing and comparing the return loss, and gain results of the two arrays involving four element and eight element microstrip patch antenna. It is an extended work of the single element antenna designed for the operating frequency of 4.7 GHz. The idea of microstrip array antenna is due the main advantages of microstrip antenna like light weight and low volume. It has low profile configuration which can be easily conformal to the host surface. The fabrication cost is low hence, can be manufactured in large quantities. It supports linear and circular polarization, and it can be easily integrated with microwave integrated circuits. It is also capable of dual and triple frequency operations. Thus, Microstrip array antenna is mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surfaces.
