Tunable radiator for small satellite application

Jean-Daniel Landis, Frédéric Bongard, Pedro Robustillo Bayon, Nevena Saponjic, Tomislav Debogovic, Mikaël Krummen

A tunable radiator for space application has been developed to meet stringent requirements in terms of electrical and environmental specifications but also low mass, simple manufacturing and low cost. The element is based on the folded PIFA antenna, with s ...

Low-profile multi-function antenna system for small satellites

Juan Ramon Mosig, Frédéric Bongard, Pedro Robustillo Bayon, Nevena Saponjic, Tomislav Debogovic, Ferdinando Tiezzi

A low-profile multi-function antenna system suitable for small satellites is presented in this paper. The antenna system operates at UHF frequency band (400 MHz) and comprises eight miniaturised radiating elements (REs) based on a folded planar inverted-F ...

A Microfabricated 1-D Metamaterial Unit Cell Matched From DC to Millimeter-Waves

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Frédéric Bongard, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia

A silicon-integrated one-dimensional CRLH-TL metamaterial unit cell is presented. Ultra broadband behavior is achieved by implementing the previously proposed 'lattice network' CRLH-TL unit cell in a monolayer host transmission line, as required for simple ...
