A novel compact S-band antenna concept hosted on a 1U form factor CubeSat platform is presented. Non-resonant radiators are designed to exploit the resonant current modes excitable on the platform. The effect of the satellite platform on the radiated performances (efficiency, band, gain) is intrinsically taken into account by the proposed design approach. A great saving of space and weight is achieved and the robustness of the solution to different platform setup is verified. Measurements assess the achievement of the expected radiation performance.

Abstract
A novel compact S-band antenna concept hosted on a 1U form factor CubeSat platform is presented. Non-resonant radiators are designed to exploit the resonant current modes excitable on the platform. The effect of the satellite platform on the radiated performances (efficiency, band, gain) is intrinsically taken into account by the proposed design approach. A great saving of space and weight is achieved and the robustness of the solution to different platform setup is verified. Measurements assess the achievement of the expected radiation performance.File in questo prodotto:
