Advances in modern technology have aided the development of a class of miniaturized
satellites called SmallSats that typically weigh less than 500 kg. Key members of this family …

The theoretical limit for small antenna performance that was derived decades ago by
Wheeler and Chu governs design tradeoffs for size, bandwidth, and efficiency. Theoretical …

A new gain-enhanced patch antenna with loading of shorting pins is proposed in this paper.
Four metallic pins are symmetrically placed in the two diagonals of a square patch resonator …

This letter introduces a wideband circularly polarized (CP) cross-dipole antenna fabricated
on a double-layered printed circuit board (PCB) substrate for 2.45-GHz ISM band wireless …

Antenna is one of the key components onboard small satellites as its design determines the
performance of all the wireless systems including telemetry, tracking and control, high-speed …

A novel printed crossed dipole with broad axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is proposed. The
proposed dipole consists of two dipoles crossed through a 90° phase delay line, which …

Modern small satellites (MSS) are revolutionizing the space industry. They can drastically
reduce the mission cost, and can make access to space more affordable. The relationship …

A novel printed crossed dipole with broad circular polarisation (CP) is proposed. This dipole
is also utilised in 1× 2 and 2× 2 array antennas. The proposed dipole can produce CP …

This letter presents a novel and simple feeding technique for exciting orthogonal
components in a wide-slot antenna. In this technique, a rectangular bracket-shape parasitic …

The combined effort of the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Kyushu Institute of
Technology (KYUTECH) to develop a small-satellite antenna is presented in this paper …
