Microstrip antennas are a rapidly growing area of research. The applications of microstrip antennas are limitless, because of their compact size, ease of manufacturing and light weight. A variety of approaches have been taken, including modification of experimentation with substrate parameters, the patch shape, Most notably mobile communication systems where many frequency ranges could be accommodated by a single antenna. This paper deals with the design of microstrip patch antenna and the configuration to improve the gain so that the distance for communication can be enhanced. The proposed configuration involves the Broadside patch antenna of six elements built in an array to improve the gain whereas the existing method involved four radiating elements designed in E-Shaped. The gain of Microstrip Antennas can be increased by building a broadside array. By exciting a number of microstrip antenna elements to make them radiate in the same phase at the broadside direction, the broadside gain will increase with the number of elements. In this paper a microstrip patch antenna is designed and the parameters analyzed are s-parameter and gain.
