<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book surveys a variety of antenna designs used for CubeSat communication and radar by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The first chapter presents a brief introduction of CubeSats. The second chapter illustrates the telecommunication subsystem of Mars Cube One (MarCO) mission, with an emphasis on the antenna development. The third chapter describes the enabling technology of Radar in a CubeSat (RainCube): the 0.5m deployable mesh reflector. Chapter 4 presents the electrical and mechanical design of the largest reflectarray compatible with a 6U-class CubeSat: OMERA (one meter reflectarray antenna). Chapter 5 explains the development of a one-meter mesh reflector for telecommunication at X- and Ka-band for deep space missions. In Chapter 6, an inflatable antenna operating at X-band is shown from an electrical and mechanical point of view with all the challenges associated with operation in space. In Chapter 7, depicts how a novel patch array mainly made of metal is used on a CubeSat. Finally, Chapter 8 describes the design of multiple metasurface antennas"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Presents an overview of CubeSat antennas designed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)</b></p> <p>CubeSats--nanosatellites built to standard dimensions of 10cm x 10 cm x cm--are making space-based Earth science observation and interplanetary space science affordable, accessible, and rapidly deployable for institutions such as universities and smaller space agencies around the world. <i>CubeSat Antenna Design</i> is an up-to-date overview of CubeSat antennas designed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), covering the systems engineering knowledge required to design these antennas from a radio frequency and mechanical perspective.</p> <p>This authoritative volume features contributions by leading experts in the field, providing insights on mission-critical design requirements for state-of-the-art CubeSat antennas and discussing their development, capabilities, and applications.
