Design and Fabrication of Micro Strip Antenna for Cubesat Applications

Abstract

In this work we have designed an antenna for 450 MHz in UHF band using rectangular micro-strip patch antenna. It is used for most complex multi band characteristics. Micro-strip antenna has two elementary systems for cubesat. Micro-strip antenna consists of conducting patch on a ground plane separated by dielectric substrate radiation from ground plane has different dielectric configurations. Two antennas are including slot and micro-strip patch antenna. Slot antennas can be placed around solar cells and the slots are narrow enough to be fit into the space between solar cells. Launching the large conventional satellite takes more time and expensive to design the satellite. Cubesats has been proposed to serve the purpose in satellite application cubesat has no more than 1.33kg/unit which reduces the size of satellite and make it less expensive. The proposed antenna at 450Mhz in UHF band and we have achieved 4.2771 of average of gain with parameters of 60∗60∗1.6mm.
