In this paper, array of microstrip patch antenna is designed for communication in wireless application in L-BAND. Single element and 2x1 array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna is designed and simulated by a full wave simulator (IE3D). Two rectangles of length 42mm and width 38.9mm with asymmetric slots is simulated. The design is fabricated on ground with relative permittivity (€r) of 2.2 and thickness 1.6mm. This design has a resonance frequency of 2.44 GHz and achieved a return loss of -41.4176dB. Coaxial feeding is used in this antenna design. Some other important parameters of simulated results of the proposed antenna such as Return loss, Smith chart, directivity, gain are also mentioned and discussed. The proposed design finds application in L-BAND especially in BLUETOOTH devices.
