CubeSats are positioned to play a key role in Earth Science, wherein multiple copies of the same RADAR instrument are launched in desirable formations, allowing for the measurement of atmospheric processes over a short evolutionary timescale. To achieve this goal, such CubeSats require a high-gain antenna (HGA) that fits in a highly constrained volume. This paper presents a novel mesh deployable Ka-band...
This paper presents a novel mesh deployable Ka-band antenna design folding in a 1.5U (10×10×15cm3) stowage volume suitable for 6U (10×20×30cm3) class CubeSats. Detailed results, considering all aspects of the deployable mesh reflector antenna, show that 42.6 dBi gain and 52% aperture efficiency is achievable at 35.75GHz. The mechanical deployment mechanism is also described as it constraints and drive...
