The 5G communication system requires an antenna as a receiving device that has high performance including wide bandwidth and high gain. Microstrip antennas have advantages such as low cost, suitable for high frequencies and easy to integrate with other devices. One of the disadvantages of microstrip antennas is their narrow bandwidth and low gain. Therefore, microstrip antennas with wide bandwidth and high gain are especially needed to support 5G communication systems. This paper provides a solution by proposed a wide bandwidth and high gain microstrip antenna operating at a resonant frequency of 3.5 GHz for a 5G communication system. The proposed antenna was developed in four stages starting from a single element, a two-element series array, a 4-element series array and a 4×2-element planar series array. A series planar array technique is proposed to increase the gain and bandwidth of the microstrip antenna simultaneously. In this paper, simulations and measurements from the proposed antenna are displayed and compared comprehensively to show the performance improvement from each stage of the development of the proposed model. Based on the measurement results, the designed antenna has an impedance bandwidth (IBW) of 0.6 GHz and fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 17.14 % with a frequency range of 3.11–3.71 GHz and maximum gain of 12.2 dB at a resonant frequency of 3.5 GHz. The bandwidth and gain of the antennas increased by 205 % and 99.03 % compared to single element antennas, respectively. Therefore, the proposed antenna can be recommended to be used as a receiving antenna for 5G communication systems
