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 …

CubeSats are a class of miniaturized satellites that have become increasingly popular in
academia and among hobbyists due to their short development time and low fabrication …

A gain-enhancement scheme that combines an active integrated antenna (AIA) and an
optically transparent reflectarray on solar cells is proposed for CubeSat applications. As …

This paper presents a low cost C-band microstrip antenna array with high gain, composed of
2× 2 patches of 14.38 mm by 18.42 mm each, and compatible with CubeSat standard at 5.8 …

As in any satellite, onboard antennas for CubeSats are crucial to establish communication
with ground stations or other satellites. According to its application, antennas must comply …

A cube satellite (CubeSat) is an evolving and emerging technology that gives a novice or
advanced researcher relatively affordable access to space research experiments and …

In this paper, a steerable Yagi-Uda antenna implemented on a dielectric is proposed for S-
band CubeSat communications. The steerable Yagi antenna consists of 3 elements lying on …

This paper presents a wideband or high gain 4× 4 array operating in k-band. The unit cell of
this array is a rectangular patch antenna in a stacked configuration. Four rectangular …

A design of S-band planar monopole antenna suited for CubeSat communication system is
presented. The antenna design uses two-layer printed circuit board based on the patch …

An important subsystem of a CubeSat is the communication module where microstrip patch
antennas are mostly used. The antenna array presented in this paper is devoted to CubeSat …
