The purpose of this research is the development of antennas for mobile communication systems by exploiting the existence of Quasi - Zenith Satellite spacecraft . Antenna is one of the most important elements in the satellite communication systems , in which no satellite communication antenna systems can not be reali ed . The type of antenna is an antenna that will be developed that will be used in the segment or segments earth . !or the selected type of microstrip antenna which has a compact form , light, cheap and easy fabrication , and has good performance . "n the first year of the study carried out using the method of #oodward $awson combined with genetic algorithm for designing the antenna . The antenna radiation pattern created by leading to the satellite position with the position of the antenna is in the area of western "ndonesia . The first step is for the wor%ing fre&uency of the antenna array . Then calculate the dimensions of a triangle antenna by considering the material that is used to obtain the triangle side lengths at ' (.)* cm . +nce the dimensions of the antenna array elements is obtained , the next step is to determine the form of the form of planar array antenna array . ,ach of these elements in such a placement arranged by the distance between the constituent elements is a half wave . -umber of constituent elements is . x . . !actors affecting the synthesis of antenna array are the amplitude and phase of each element array . To obtain beam antenna array that leads towards / 0 (1o angle is done by giving the value of the amplitude and phase of each antenna element by using #oodward - $awson . To get the value of the optimal amplitude and phase it used 2enetic Algorithm . 3y using 2enetic Algorithms couple factors that affect the radiation pattern 4 amplitude and phase 5 of each element is assumed as an individual . "ndividuals classified as a population . #hile the rectangular array , the individual means of the array and the collection is comprised of some of the array is called the population . "f the values of the amplitude and phase simulation results included in the e&uation then the resulting synthesis array beam shape as it has been prescribed . Search results amplitude and phase values at each time simulations produce a

different fitness values and fitness values with the simulation results show the greatest shape approximates the shape of the reference beam . Simulation results of this study is an antenna array that has a pretty good directivity 4 )*.* d3 5 with elevation angle (1o
