This paper presents a simulated design of high performance elliptical ring Microstrip patch antenna at resonant frequency of 8 GHz for radar. Owing to its intrinsic geometry elliptical ring patch is found to be suitable candidate for designing high power, large gain and better efficiency conformal antennas for radar at X-band or even higher frequencies. Simulated antenna shows very high average gain of 7.5 dB for entire bandwidth of 340MHz i.e. 4.25% impedance bandwidth. Simulated results shows very good return loss performance, S11 parameter is-42.5 dB at resonant frequency. Roger Ultralam 2000 substrate is used to design the antenna. Average radiation efficiency of antenna is very high (97.9%). Design show great promise for radar application with no side lobes, high directivity of 7.71 dB at 8 GHz & very high front to back ratio. Comparative study of recent works in X-Band and our design is presented & variation of return loss with dielectric height is also elaborated in paper.
