or , You can use an array if your design is a patch antenna. And also by increasing the height of substrate, the gain could be enhanced but the bandwidth will become smaller.
if your design is aperture(slot) coupled patch antenna, you may use Substrate integrated wave-guide (SIW) technique.
periodic structures like FSS, metasurface can be placed as substrate below the antenna or as superstrate above the antenna for the purpose of gain enhancement.
