Abstract
In this paper a dual-feed collocated UHF and L-band antenna is described, based on a square array of tunable inverted F UHF antennas, and of one stacked circularly polarized L-band patch. Advanced miniaturization methods have been used to adapt the antenna for nanosatellite applications by limiting its footprint and volume, to fit in a cavity equal to half of a 4U standard volume (211x211x43mm). The UHF and L-band antennas have been designed and simulated as a single system using CST Microwave Studio software in order to optimize their performances at 400MHz and 1.7GHz.
