We discuss the possibility to exploit electromagnetic cloaking for enhancing the performances of communication antennas installed on nanosatellite platforms. As a case study, we consider a CubeSTAR system and show that properly designed metasurfaces can be effectively used to minimize the impact of its deployable payload sensors on both radiation and electrical characteristics of the antennas. The results discussed here pave the way to new strategies for the design of extremely compact nanosatellite platforms equipped with multifunctional antennas and sensors.

Abstract

We discuss the possibility to exploit electromagnetic cloaking for enhancing the performances of communication antennas installed on nanosatellite platforms. As a case study, we consider a CubeSTAR system and show that properly designed metasurfaces can be effectively used to minimize the impact of its deployable payload sensors on both radiation and electrical characteristics of the antennas. The results discussed here pave the way to new strategies for the design of extremely compact nanosatellite platforms equipped with multifunctional antennas and sensors.
