Ultralow-Profile Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antenna for CubeSat Intersatellite Links in K-B and

An ultralow-profile circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray (RA) antenna is presented in this article, based on the variable-rotation technique for beam collimation and scanning. Starting from a conventional split-loop element, a new wideband element is des ...

Circularly Polarized Axially Corrugated Feed Horn for CubeSat Reflectarray Applications

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

Retlectarray (RA) and transmitarray (TA) antennas that use the element-rotation technique require the radiation from the feeding antenna to be circularly polarized (CP). A CP axially corrugated horn antenna is developed as a feeding element for CubeSat RA ...

Circularly Polarized Transmitarray Antenna for CubeSat Intersatellite Links in K-Band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

A circularly polarized transmitarray antenna based on aperture-coupled patches is presented for CubeSat intersatellite-link applications in K-band. The concept of aperture coupling simplifies the design of transmitarray elements, as it omits the need for m ...

Antennas for CubeSat Communication

Miroslav Veljovic

CubeSats are a type of small satellites (< 500 kg) that weigh several kilograms and consist of multiple Units (U) measuring 100 × 100 × 113.5 mm3. CubeSats emerged as a low-cost alternative to conventional large satellites, and have since demonstrated capa ...

Aperture-Coupled Low-Profile Wideband Patch Antennas for CubeSat

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

This communication presents the design and measurement results of aperture-coupled stripline-fed wideband patch antennas for nanosatellite applications. The low-profile requirements lead to a strong back radiation from the coupling aperture. Instead of sup ...

A Comparison of Three Feeding Networks for CubeSat L/S-dual-band Stacked-Patch Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

The CubeSat nanosatellite standard puts strict limitations on the antenna volume, resulting in a low impedance and axial-ratio (AR) bandwidths of patch antennas. The AR of a circularly polarized patch antenna can be improved with the introduction of a dedi ...

Patch Antenna System for CubeSats in L band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

An L-band patch-antenna system for CubeSat applications is presented in this paper. The high-permittivity dielectric loading reduces the size of individual antennas to make them suitable for a CubeSat platform. Two circularly polarized patch antennas were ...

Wideband Cavity-Backed CubeSat Antenna in S band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

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 restricti ...
