The invention proposes a directional high-gain microstrip antenna, and mainly solves the problems of small gain and poor directivity in the prior art. A radiation unit consists of three rectangular patches, and is printed on the upper surface of an upper layer dielectric substrate, the rectangular patches of left and right sides are connected with the floor through first metalized via holes, the floor is printed on the support surface of a lower layer dielectric substrate, the central position is provided with a rectangular gap used for exciting the radiation unit, a T-shaped microstrip line is printed on the lower surface of the lower layer dielectric substrate and is connected with a feed unit, thereby realizing signal transmission, the floor is connected with a first metal bonding pad and a second metal bonding pad through second metalized via holes, the upper layer and lower layer dielectric substrates form a laminated structure, a reflecting plate is arranged under the laminated structure and is supported by the feed unit and a parasitic unit, thereby suppressing backward radiation, the feed unit is connected with the first metal bonding pad to transmit a radio frequency signal, and the parasitic unit is connected with the second metal bonding pad, thereby suppressing cross polarization. The antenna provided by the invention is high in gain and good in directivity, and can be used for a satellite communication and radar system.
