Microstrip Archimedean spiral antennas are suitable for wideband satellite communications when CubeSat is used because of its light weight and small size. The wide band frequency response of the spiral antennas can be achieved by properly choosing their outer and inner radius .In this paper a spiral microstrip antennas are designed on FR-4, giving an ultra-wide band from 6-to-22GHz which covers all working satellite bands. High gain directive beam with suitable radiations in multiple frequencies for on-board satellite communications is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
