“…Typically, the frequency bands that are used for CubeSats are very high frequencies (VHF) or ultra high frequencies (UHF) amateur band [68]. However, some of the missions also used Ka-band [69], X-band [70], [71], S-band [72], L-band [68] and optical waves. To best characterize the effect of the elevation angle on the pathloss, we consider VHF-band and L-band frequencies and calculate the path loss with respect to the elevation angle as shown in Fig.…”

The research in the emerging space industry is becoming more and more attractive, given the increasing number of space-related applications. One primary entity of current space research is the design of miniaturized satellites, known as CubeSats, due to their numerous applications and low design and deployment cost. The new paradigm of connected space through CubeSats enables a wide range of applications such as Earth remote sensing, space exploration, and rural connectivity. CubeSats further provide a complimentary connectivity solution to the pervasive Internet of things (IoT) networks, leading to a globally connected cyber-physical system. This paper presents a holistic overview of different aspects of CubeSat missions, and provides a thorough review on the topic, both from academic and industrial perspectives. We further present the recent advances in the area of CubeSats communications with an emphasis on constellation and coverage issues, channel modeling, modulation and coding, and networking. The paper finally identifies several future research directions on CubeSats communications, namely Internet of space things, low power long range networks, machine learning for resource allocation in CubeSats, etc.

“…In [6], the integration of two antenna arrays using thin substrates for simultaneous operation in S-Band and X-Band is discussed. A communication system at 2.4 GHz for LEO satellites including a low-cost 2x2 microstrip antenna array is described in [7]. The design of microstrip aperture-coupled antennas for microwave energy harvesting on a nanosatellite is analyzed in [8].…”

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 optimized to operate at 2.26 GHz (S-Band), which is the operating frequency of the downlink channel of the Brazilian System for Meteorological Data Acquisition. The electromagnetic analyses are done by using the HFSS electromagnetic simulator. For the design validation, prototypes of single elements and antenna array were manufactured. The comparison between simulations and measurements indicates good performance of the designed antennas.

“…Planar antennas have been widely studied and proposed for several modern wireless applications due to their low profile, ease of integration to communication systems, and high design flexibility. Such characteristics, along with a circular polarization, make them excellent candidates for integration on small satellites, particularly for CubeSat platforms, compared to wire antennas , linear wire‐arrays , or helical antennas , where a large number of elements are required, or expandable structures which are bulky and prone to mechanical errors are utilized. Moreover, the use of the 2.4 GHz band for small satellite applications allows the antenna structures to present low dimensions and higher gain values when compared with the VHF band, or even the lower part of the UHF region, making the mentioned frequency allocation (2.4 GHz) one of the favorite choices released by the International Telecommunication Union ITU for the amateur satellite systems .…”

A planar antenna based on the open‐loop standing‐wave radiator following a fractal design is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna operates at 2.45 GHz with circular polarization and directional radiation, and is designed over an FR‐4 substrate. Design methodology and optimization of the structure are detailed. Simulated and experimental results are presented with good agreement between them. Due to its radiation characteristics, reduced dimensions, and low weight, the proposed antenna is an excellent candidate for CubeSat applications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
