A Study on the Effect between Commercial Space Solar Cells and the Antennas Integrated on Their Cover Glass
Abstract
A study to determine how commercial space solar cells affect the functionality of the antenna integrated on top of solar cells has been performed. The measured results show that solar cell affects the antenna gain and decreases it by approximately 3 dB at 5GHz. In addition, the pattern of the antenna was not affected significantly by solar cells whether when they were illuminated and terminated with different loads.
