This paper presents a 3x3 antenna array of ractangular topology is designed to operate at Ku Band. The antenna has been designed as arrays of patches, where number of elements, spacing's and feeding currents has been optimized to fulfil the requirements of low side lobe level and good cross polarization. The operating frequency of array is from 12 to 18 GHz. The antenna array has been designed and simulated on FR4 Substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4. This paper presents that, the detail steps of designing and simulating the rectangular patch antenna and rectangular patch antenna Array in Ku-band. The design is analysed by FEM based HFSS 14.0 by which return loss, 3D polar plot, Directivity, VSWR and Gain of the antenna are computed. The software simulated results are shows that the proposed antenna array provides good performance in terms of return loss, VSWR and Gain.
