Abstract
This work presents a new CubeSat antenna design concept to cover UHF/VHF or higher bands. The antenna is integrated into the satellite platform to save physical volume occupied and power consumption. The proposed antennas have demonstrated comparable performance to normal monopole antennas. Possible grounding deficiency due to the structure frame for the operation of lower frequency band can be compensated by the circuit board or the solar panel. The mutual coupling of the platform integrated antennas is also analyzed.
