The patch antenna array with high gain is expected to minimize the need of tower that almost requires high cost of construction. In order to achieve high gain, the proposed antenna is constructed by 4×4 rectangular patches fed by microstrip line corporate feeding network which is developed using a λ/4 transformer impedance matching technique. The antenna structure is then deployed on a Flame Retardant (FR) 4 Epoxy dielectric substrate which the thickness and dielectric constant of 1.6mm, and 4.4, respectively. Prior hardware realization, some antenna parameters including return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), radiation pattern, and gain are characterized through simulation to obtain an optimum design of antenna. While from the measurement, it shows that the characteristics of realized patch antenna array have good agreements with the design results in which the realized antenna has the measured gain of 15.59dB at the center frequency with the return loss of 19.52dB which corresponds to VSWR of 1.24 and the bandwidth response of 130MHz ranges from the frequency of 2.31GHz-2.44GHz.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antenna parameters,Design and implementations,Dielectric substrates,Hardware realization,High gain,Transformer impedances,Voltage standing-wave ratio,Wireless communications[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Bandwidth response,high gain,patch antenna array,rural area[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/APCC.2016.7581507[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
