Microstrip Rectangular 4x1 Patch Array Antenna at 2.5GHz for WiMax Application

This paper presents the design of microstrip rectangular patch antenna with center frequency at 2.5GHz for WiMAX application. The array of four by one (4x1) patch array microstrip rectangular antenna with microstrip line feeding based on quarter wave impedance matching technique was designed and simulated using Computer Simulation Tool (CST) Microwave Environment software. The performance of the designed antenna was than compared with the single patch rectangle antenna in term of return loss, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), bandwidth, directivity, radiation pattern and gain. The array antenna was then fabricated on the substrate type FR-4 with dielectric constant of 4.9 and thickness of 1.6mm respectively. The array antenna was measured in the laboratory using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and the results show good agreement with the array antenna simulated performances.
