Özet
CubeSat systems have gained wide applicability in academic research as well as commercial and scientific space missions due to their low cost, small size, and flexible design capabilities. However, one of the critical requirements for these systems in space missions is the presence of a reliable communication infrastructure. Particularly for CubeSat platforms operating under strict volume and mass constraints, the demand for high-gain, steerable, and bandwidth-optimized antenna solutions are steadily increasing. This study proposes an innovative solution based on a rotatable microstrip patch antenna design to address these needs. At the core of the proposed design lies a wideband microstrip patch antenna operating in the S and C bands, whose orientation can be controlled via a functional structural material capable of changing its shape in response to electrical stimulation (piezoelectric material). The design offers a lightweight, compact structure optimized for CubeSat applications. The design has been validated through simulation and is currently at the prototyping stage, with real-world measurements planned to be conducted in the near future. As a result, the proposed antenna system makes CubeSats more effective, flexible and reliable for complex space missions.
