All rights reserved.This paper presents microstrip antenna design using sub array technique to produce high gain, compact, and low cost antenna. The working frequency was designed to cover the S-band of 2.520 GHz to 2.670 GHz. The proposed antenna consists of 8 sub-arrays, each of which has 8 identical antenna elements, resulting the total array antenna of 64 elements. The antenna has been implemented on FR4 and produces the bandwidth of 2.48 GHz to 2.6225 GHz, with the resulting average gain of 17 dBi (theoretically was 23.5 dBi). The proposed antenna may be used as substitute of heavyweight and more costly parabolic TV reception antenna.[/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 element,Array antennas,High gain,Low cost antenna,Sub-arrays,TV reception,Working frequency[/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][/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]Manuscript received March 06, 2018; revised April 16, 2018.
