TLDR
The Integrated Solar Array and Reflectarray Antenna (ISARA) is a new deployable antenna designed to fit into a standard CubeSat bus that does not occupy payload volume, provides spacecraft prime power and imposes only a modest impact on overall mass.Abstract:
The Integrated Solar Array and Reflectarray Antenna (ISARA) is a new deployable antenna designed to fit into a standard CubeSat bus. It does not occupy payload volume, provides spacecraft prime power and imposes only a modest impact on overall mass. Measured data indicates that the 3 panel configuration achieves 33.5 dB gain at 26 GHz. Measured radiation patterns are in good agreement with calculations.read more

Inflatable antenna for cubesats: Motivation for development and antenna design
Alessandra Babuscia,Benjamin Corbin,Mary Knapp,Rebecca Jensen-Clem,Mark Van de Loo,Sara Seager +5 more
TL;DR: This study explores for the first time the possibility of developing an inflatable antenna for CubeSats in a way compatible with CubeSat dimensions and constraints, and designs the antenna which achieves the required performance metrics, while respecting the constraints imposed by CubeSat structure.
