In this paper, we have designed circularly polarized array antenna for 5.8GHz microwave wireless power transmission. To obtain high antenna gain, we studied a single patch antenna, a $2{\times}1$ array antenna, a $2{\times}2$ array antenna, a $2{\times}4$ array antenna, and a $4{\times}4$ array antenna. Commonly, characteristics of each antenna have a frequency of 5.8 GHz and Right Hand Circular Polarization(RHCP) of circular polarization. Also, the results were obtained with the design to each antenna that the return loss was less than -10dB and the axial ratio was less than 3dB. The gain of the antennas was 6.08dBi for a single patch antenna, 9.69dBi for a $2{\times}1$ array antenna, 12.99dBi for a $2{\times}2$ array antenna, 15.72dBi for a $2{\times}4$ array antenna and 18.39dBi for a $4{\times}4$ array antenna. When the elements of the array antenna were increased, it was confirmed that it increased by about 3dBi.
