Abstract
A novel design of a high-frequency multiband with a circular polarisation antenna based on a four-patch antenna system consolidated with an Archimedean spiral antenna for CubeSat applications. The geometry and size are compatible with the CubeSat standard structure dimensions of 10 × 10 cm2. The antenna consists of a spiral antenna in the middle of four patch antennas surrounding it; the first antenna structure consists of two sets of two orthogonal identical patch antennas with a 90° phase shift to cover the band from 1.55 to 1.94 GHz at L-band, 2, 2.1, and 2.3 GHz at S-band, the second antenna is an Archimedean spiral antenna to cover all C-bands, all X-bands, all Ku-bands, all K-bands, and from 26 to 29 GHz at Ka-band. The measured results show that the reflection coefficients (S11) and (S22) achieve < −10 dB and the axial ratio achieves <3 dB, with a reference impedance of 50 Ω. The simulated and the measured results give a better agreement.
