Abstract
In this paper, a compact 2.40 GHz Right Hand Circularly Polarized (RHCP) printed antenna is designed, fabricated, and integrated with a small satellite body for satellite applications. The proposed antenna consists of a truncated corner patch and the square-shaped ground plane. The truncated coroner patch is responsible for achieving CP characteristics. A direct coaxial feed is used to excite the patch and ground of the proposed antenna. The antenna is fabricated and measured. Experimental and simulated results of the proposed design are agreed with each other. The antenna achieved more than 6.69 dBi realized gain at the operating band is simple in design. So, it'll be simpler to integrate it into the small satellite body. After integrating with the cube satellite body, the antenna shows stable performance in the desired operating band.
