Thesis (Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018. / This research report discusses feasible designs of conformal antennas that provide a proof of concept for the French South African Institute of Technology’s future needs. The design is to be used in forthcoming space missions and the intention is to mount the antenna on the surface of a spacecraft. Hence, a low profile is mandatory along with good circular polarisation radiation characteristics. Microstrip patch antennas have been chosen for this purpose simply because they have low profile and conform to most structures, thus fulfilling the requirements stated above. All the designs that are featured in this thesis were modelled and validated using the electromagnetic simulation software FEKO and prototypes were built and tested. The simulations and measured results are supplemented by theory. Sometimes it can be challenging to design and develop an antenna that fulfils the required performance goals given the size and weight restrictions that are specified for nano-satellite technology. Therefore, the first phase of this project finds a good balance between the criteria set for CubeSat platforms and antenna performance. The second phase is validation. Single patch antennas and a sequential rotated patch array were designed, built and tested. The sequential rotated patch array offers considerable improvements in performance when compared to single patch antennas. For instance, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth increased to 9.6 % from 2 % when a sequential rotated array was used. The CubeSat normally flies in the inclined regions of the low Earth orbit (LEO). This area has high-energy auroral electron fluxes, in which the high-density electrons build up on ungrounded surfaces of spacecraft and cause discharge arcing. The discharge can affect the satellite operation and, in the worst case, cause permanent damage to the components. A mitigation technique by means of a bleeding path provides a quick route to ground and the space-qualified material that is used will ensure that the antenna is robust enough to survive this.
