“…Several studies have been presented in this research area with different perspectives, mainly based on four types of antennas: monopole [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], dipole [ 12 ], helical [ 13 ], and microstrip patch. The application of patch antennas for 5G is in full development for CubeSats [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], mobile communications [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], and the use of new frequency bands for this technology [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

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.

“…Telemetry communication band is usually allocated in S band. In many previous researches, some telemetry antennas with excellent performance are proposed, such as telemetry loaded bifilar helical antenna [16], flush-mounted telemetry antenna [17], compact S-band antenna [18] and hybrid TM antenna [19]. Inverted-F antenna (IFA) [20]- [24] is also a very possible candidate for this application.…”

The design and implementation of printed helical spiral antenna (PHSA) and helical printed inverted-F antenna (IFA) are presented for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with global positioning system (GPS) L1 band (1.57 GHz) and telemetry communication frequency band (2.33 GHz) applications. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by co-winding the radiation elements on the same ceramic rod, surface covering by dielectric sealant, inserting a high permittivity dielectric load into the helical structure, turning and meandering the radiation element of PHSA into a spiral parallelogram structure. The PHSA and helical IFA antenna radiation elements are manufactured by silver pasted on the same hollow ceramic cylinder with a diameter of 12 mm and a height of 24.7 mm. The experimental and simulation results show that the proposed PHSA and IFA can achieve the gain of 0.05dB and 1.97 dB respectively and be suitable for GPS L1 band and telemetry communication frequency band (2.33 GHz) applications separately. INDEX TERMS Circular polarization, GPS antenna, helical inverted-F antenna, printed spiral helical antenna, unmanned aerial vehicle.

“…On the other hand, size restrictions, primarily on the antenna thickness, result in limitations on the achievable impedance and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth with this kind of antennas, especially in the lower frequency bands. This is a known issue with planar antennas, and so far, only a few CubeSat antenna designs that yield narrowband AR performance are proposed for S-band frequencies [5], [6].…”

The Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) antennas are a crucial component of small satellites, as their in-orbit attitude is not always well-defined. The TT&C antenna design for a CubeSat is an even more challenging task, considering the volume restrictions imposed by the standard, and the bandwidth requirements for a duplex communication. A detailed design process of a low profile S-band antenna, suitable for CubeSat applications, is presented in this paper. The fabricated prototype exhibits a 10-dB impedance bandwidth of 40 %, and a 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth of 32 %.
