The paper presents a multilayer stacked micro strip patch antenna specially for 5G applications[1]. It is a 2x2 patch array built in three layers with top layer comprising of four patches and bottom layer will be the ground plane whereas the middle layer is meant for achieving higher gain and wide bandwidth. The gain of the antenna array is found to be 11.66 dBi. The impedance bandwidth of the array antenna is found to be greater than 10%. The reflection coefficient of the array is calculated as -15.15 dB.
