Design and Analysis of a 4x4 Antenna Array

This research article explores the design and analysis of a $4\mathrm{x}4$ antenna array using MATLAB, a versatile and powerful computational tool widely employed for simulating and optimizing antenna systems. The antenna array is a fundamental component in modern wireless communication systems offering advantages in terms of enhanced gain, directivity and beam forming capabilities. The primary objective of this study is to optimize the performance of the $4\mathrm{x}4$ antenna array through MATLAB simulations considering crucial parameters such as radiation pattern, directivity and beam forming characteristics. The research leverages MATLAB's Antenna Toolbox to design the array and through a systematic simulation setup investigates the radiation pattern, optimizes directivity and assesses beam forming performance. The findings contribute valuable insights into the design and analysis of antenna arrays underscoring the significance of MATLAB as a robust tool for antenna system optimization.
