Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper presents an S-band patch and a wire helical antenna integrated with an optical remote sensing camera for efficient placement on the body of CubeSat nanosatellites. The overall dimensions of the antennas correspond to the geometric parameters of the spacecraft, where one side of the cube is 100 mm * 100 mm. The patch antenna is made of a double layer of fiberglass FR-4 with a thickness 1.6 mm, the copper active (radiating) plane is made in the form of the Zhanabaev’s anisotropic fractal. There are two resonant frequencies in the range from 1MHz to 4 GHz, with center frequencies of 2.05 GHz and 2.45 GHz. The reflector of the helical antenna is also made of copper with an FR-4 substrate. Its resonant frequency is 2.35 GHz. The electrodynamic characteristics and directional properties of the considered antennas are investigated.
