“…Analysis of publications dealing with the problem of creating integrated with solar panels antenna shows that the proposed designs are usually based on the use of batteries as the substrate surface of the patch antenna. There are a special interests in solving problems [1][2][3] of avoidance of a significant reduction of solar battery effectiveness caused by shading the battery surface with the structural elements of the antenna. The simplest design integrated antenna suggest placing microstrip element directly on the surfaces of the battery [3,8,12] or slightly raised above it [7,8].…”

“…The creation of new technologies in the field of electronics, the development of modern element base allowed to drastically reduce the sizes and weights of the devices. A lot of problems prevent the further progress in this direction [1]. In this regard there are appeared a number of papers which attempt to project an antenna integrated with the other components of electronic systems, and in particular with the aircraft board covers [2,3], and solar cells [1, 3 -11].…”

Designing problems of microstrip antennas placed on the solar battery surface and using it as a substrate are considered. Computational models taking into account the elements of its costruction and parameters of solar battery were performed by means of ANSYS HFSS. A number of numerical experiments for several antenna models were fulfilled. The aim of them is to design microstrip antenna integrated with solar battery without decreasing of solar elements effectiveness. The results of numerical experiments for several projects of microwave radiators with solid or mesh surface of the patch are presented

“…In the early CubeSats, deployable wire antennas operating at VHF/UHF bands are typically used for the low bitrate links (tele-command and telemetry), while S-band antennas are typically used for the high bitrate links of payload data [3]. Along with the demand of broader bandwidth for downloading more data at higher bitrate, recently, X-band frequencies are used for transmitting the payload data of CubeSats [4]. Accordingly, high-gain X-band CubeSat antennas have received much attention.…”

A planar wideband circularly-polarized (CP) antenna array is designed for an X-band CubeSat. The design is a two-level sequential phase architecture, consisting of a 4 × 4 element array composed of sequentially rotated of 2 × 2 subarrays. Each subarray consists of sequentially rotated 2 × 2 antennas using metasurface. These antenna elements are incorporated with a two-level sequentially rotated phase network in order to obtain wideband characteristic and high gain. The final prototype with a size of 100 mm × 100 mm × 2.032 mm yields a measured |S 11 | < −10 dB bandwidth of 50% (6-10 GHz) and measured axial ratio < 3-dB bandwidth of 40.7% (6.45-9.75 GHz). Additionally, the proposed design achieves a good broadside right-hand CP radiation with a peak gain of 17.0 dBic, 3-dB gain bandwidth of 20.4% (7.5-9.2 GHz), and radiation efficiency of > 82%. With these features, the proposed antenna can be compatible with any CubeSat standard structure, as well as other small satellites.

Just when you think you know all the answers, the universe changes all the questions." iv a todo el mundo. En cualquier minuto y siempre sin un pero. Es un placer haber viajado contigo, compartido aventuras en Londres, Paris, Boston...y haber aprendido tanto de ti. También a Nora y María, las chicas de la sala del GRE. Vosotras sois parte imprescindible de este trabajo, hemos crecido juntos. Muchas gracias por todos los momentos de distensión, las risas, por apoyarme con la tesis y también con el teatro.Mariano, Eva, Vicent M., Marta, Lorenzo, Juan, Felipe. Conoceros aún más y aprender de vosotros ha sido un privilegio. Gracias, además, por haberme permitido compartir docencia con vosotros. Han sido momentos para crecer tanto profesional como vitalmente.Gente que va y viene. Que de algún modo siempre está. Marc, Cristina, Alexia, Jaime, por supuesto Toni B. y Tomás. Que suerte haberos conocido y que pena no haber compartido más tiempo. Sois personas brillantes y con mucha luz, ojalá pudiera robaros algo de ese magnetismo que transmitís, y ojalá, de la manera que sea, volvamos a encontrarnos. A la familia de Ecuador: Fernando, Diana, Carlos, Daniel, Anibal. A la de Marruecos: Zakaria, Hamza, Yousra. A la de Argentina: Juan Pablo, Alberto, Guillermo y tantos otros que seguro que olvido. También parte de este trabajo ha sido posible gracias a Ashraf, Jian, Abbas, Sadegh y Jin Lin, que fueron un apoyo fundamental durante mi estancia en Chalmers University of Technology. A mi familia. A mis abuelos Rosita y Miguel, Amparo y Salvador. Sé que habéis estado conmigo.A mi hermana Nuria, por aguantar mil cenas oyéndonos hablar de Antenas.A mi madre, por apoyarme y espolearme. Por exigirme siempre más cuando yo creo que es suficiente.A mi padre, por ser un guía infatigable, porque llegar hasta aquí a tu lado es de las mejores cosas que haré en esta vida.A Dulce, la mujer más extraordinaria del mundo. Si existe el destino, hizo bien al ponernos juntos. Tu a mi lado y yo al tuyo para superar todos los obstáculos y superar todas las barreras. Nunca habrá suficientes gracias por haberme apoyado tanto y haber sido tan paciente y sincera en cada etapa de este viaje.Es curioso como al final de todo, de tanto trabajo, debería sentirme inmensamente feliz, pero echando la vista atrás, no soy más feliz ahora que durante todo el camino recorrido a vuestro lado. Gracias.x
