Abstract
This paper presents a new antenna design for CubeSat application. The antenna is a modified helix designed on top of 10cm × 30 cm satellite. The antenna deploys with a 120 cm × 120 cm ground plane to achieve a UHF wideband operation with a reduced back lobe radiation. The antenna exhibits circular polarization with a gain of at least 7 dB for most operating frequencies.
