Solar-Powered Active Integrated Antennas Backed by a Transparent Reflectarray for CubeSat Applications

A gain-enhancement scheme that combines an active integrated antenna (AIA) and an optically transparent reflectarray on solar cells is proposed for CubeSat applications. As CubeSat antennas require a compact footprint, improving the gain over limited design space is challenging. The proposed gain-en...
