Design and RF Testing of Reflectarray for Cubesat at X-band
28 Sep 2023
A reflectarray has been designed and measured. The reflectarray is intended for use as downlink antenna on the 2-by-3 unit surface of 6U and 12U CubeSats in the X band from 8.025 GHz to 8.4 GHz. A main design requirement has been to minimize the internal volume in the CubeSat required to stove the antenna.
The antenna design is based on a polarising reflectarray surface and is designed to work in the frequency band from 8.025 GHz to 8.4 GHz. The antenna has been manufactured and measured. concept.
