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 …

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 …

An accordion origami structure is presented, which can be expanded and collapsed. Based
on this structure, one origami antenna is designed with operating frequency that can be …

This paper presents a new compact single-feed circularly polarized S-band antenna for
Nanosatellite TT&C applications. The antenna is composed of two crossed dipoles printed …

In this work, two antenna arrays to receive and retransmit environmental data over a nano-
satellite are presented. The main challenge was to integrate an unidirectional antenna …

This paper presents the study of microstrip antenna arrays for meteorological nano-satellites
that are under development in the frame of UNIESPAÇO programme, which is supported by …

The purpose of this paper is to compare the performances in terms of reflection coefficient
(S11) and adaptation of the dipole antenna in I and L topology at the S band frequency for …

The purpose of this paper is to compare the performance in terms of gain of rectangular and
triangular microstrip patch antennas at S-band frequency for CubeSat applications. Six …

This work demonstrates the design and simulation of a compact, dual-band antenna which
enables frequency adaptation and eliminates the need for multiple antennas in a CubeSat …

This paper presents the design and characterization of an aperture-coupled microstrip
antenna array to be installed onto a nanosatellite. The proposed antenna array has been …
