Abstract: The higher rank numerical range is closely connected to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. It is known that if a normal matrix $Ain{M}_n$ has eigenvalues $a_1,\mathrm{...},a_n$, then its higher rank numerical range $Lambd{a}_k(A)$ is the intersection of convex polygons with vertices $a_{j_1},\mathrm{...},a_{j_{n-k+1}}$, where $1le{j}_1<\mathrm{...}<j_{n-k+1}len$. In this paper, it is shown that the higher rank numerical range of a normal matrix with $m$ distinct eigenvalues can be written as the intersection of no more than $maxm,4$ closed half planes. In addition, given a convex polygon $mathcalP$ a construction is given for a normal matrix $Ain{M}_n$ with minimum $n$ such that $Lambd{a}_k(A)=mathcalP$. In particular, if $mathcalP$ has $p$ vertices, with $pge3$, there is a normal matrix $Ain{M}_n$ with $nlemaxleftp+k-1,2k+2ight$ such that $Lambd{a}_k(A)=mathcalP$.
