“…On the other hand, there exist arrays for CubeSats with higher gains concerning the proposed design in this research. Nevertheless, these arrays are configured for higher frequencies, as shown in [ 30 , 39 , 40 ]. Some arrays even use more than two ports for MIMO systems in [ 39 , 41 ].…”

This paper presents a low-profile microstrip antenna with high gain for fifth-generation (5G) CubeSat applications. The proposed design consists of 16 miniaturized patch antennas distributed in a uniform 4 × 4 topology with a feeding network on Rogers TMM10 substrate. The antenna array was simulated in CST Studio Suite® software and fabricated for performance testing on the CubeSat structure. The prototype works perfectly from 3.46 GHz to 3.54 GHz. The simulated and measurement results reveal remarkable performance. The design obtained a measured gain of 8.03 dBi and a reflection coefficient of −17.4 dB at the center frequency of 3.5 GHz. Due to its reduced dimensions of 10 × 10 cm, this design is an excellent alternative for mounting on a CubeSat structure as it combines efficient performance with a low profile.

“…However, the feed horns and their arms are mounted at the front of the reflector, giving rise to obstruction on the aperture, and this, at long last, results in its downgraded efficiency while the large curvature generally affects the aerodynamic motion of the satellite when launched into the orbit. In order to solve these problems, the novel types of the microstrip array antennas are specially designed [4][5][6][7]. Importantly, the dimensions and the planar shapes of the microstrip array have no limitation and less distortion, respectively.…”

The adjusting parasitic patch size technique for the broad-beam microstrip antenna array using the cavity-backed slot coupling is presented. The phase of each element of the microstrip array has been designed to emulate the reflection of waves on the surface of parabolic backscattering. In order to increase the efficiency of this array antenna, the back-slot cavity with an exciting probe will be employed for coupling the electromagnetic waves to the back of this array. The proper sizes and locations of patches and the optimized position of the cavity have been investigated by the Computer Science Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. The gain, the radiation pattern, the bandwidth, and the return loss are extensively analyzed. The fabricated antenna has the return loss of −22.39 dB, the bandwidth of 47 MHz (4.975–5.022 GHz), and the maximum directive gain of 5.6 dB at 5 GHz, and it can produce a wide beam width (half-power beam width around 130°). The antenna could be applied for wide applications in the wireless communications system. In particular, this realizing antenna covers the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite beam.
