Enhancement the Gain of Micro Strip Patch Antenna Using Array Configuration Technique

Abstract

A method to enhance the gain of micro strip patch antenna is investigated by array configuration technique. Array configuration technique improves the gain of micro strip patch antenna by increasing the effective aperture area. The effect of array configuration technique in different configurations has been studied numerically and validated experimentally. It is observed that with increase in effective aperture area, the gain of micro strip patch antenna is increased. A technique to increase the effective aperture area is place a number of patches on single dielectric substrate. Compared to single patch antenna, a double patch antenna provides high gain.
