The modern mobile communication systems requires high gain, large bandwidth and minimal size antenna’sthat are capable of providing better performance over a wide range of frequency spectrum.This paper presents thedesign of microstrip rectangular patch antenna with center frequency at 1.176GHz for IRNSS application. The array offour by one (1x4) patch array microstrip rectangular antenna with microstrip line feeding based on quarter waveimpedance matching technique was designed and simulated using Advance design system(ADS) tool. The performance ofthe designed antenna was than compared with the single patch rectangle antenna in term of return loss, VoltageStanding Wave Ratio (VSWR), bandwidth, directivity, radiation pattern and gain. The array antenna on the substratetype FR-4 with dielectric constant of 4.6 and thickness of 1.6mm respectively
