“…BIRDS-2 used the same modulation scheme (GMSK) and data rate (9.6 kbps) as BIRDS-1 for both uplink and downlink [63]. However, BIRDS-2 used deployable monopole antennas, whose design is described in detail in [64], instead of the patch antenna used in BIRDS-1 [63]. This transition to monopole antennas was made because the gain provided by the patch antennas was insufficient [62].…”

“…This transition to monopole antennas was made because the gain provided by the patch antennas was insufficient [62]. Also, monopole antennas are easier to deploy and have omnidirectional radiation pattern [64]. Similar to BIRDS-1 design, the main focus was on the design of the antenna and RF link while little attention was devoted to customizing the baseband architecture.…”

“…Thus, the resulting communication system had simple design and low cost but required high power consumption and had a relatively large size. For example, the VHF monopole antenna had a length of 501 mm [64]. Consequently, BIRDS-2 faced many difficulties in its communication link that required major developments in BIRDS-3 communication system.…”

This survey 1 fills in an important gap in the literature on CubeSat communication systems’ designs and architectures. The paper 2 comprehensively reviews the design details in-depth and 3 critically evaluates the performance and reliability of the reviewed systems by analyzing the demonstration and testing results and illustrating implicit assumptions in the reviewed works. Furthermore, the paper 4 proposes an original CubeSat communication system categorization based on the design approach and 5 analyzes the features and limitations of each category. Consequently, this leads to identifying the limitations of current CubeSat communication systems and the promising future developments that can boost CubeSat communications capabilities.
