The small satellites offer reduced cost and low mass solutions for various mission needs such as Earth monitoring, scientific experiments, and data communication. Thus the small satellite market grows proportionally as their developing technologies replace the operations of conventional large satellites. Nowadays manufacturers consider small satellites due to their reduced time scale during design and integration phases. In this trend, light weight, reliable antennas with wide radiation patterns and adequate gains have to be employed in small satellites to accomplish telemetry, command, ranging (TCR) functions and high speed payload data transmission. In this study, an S-Band patch antenna design procedure is examined in order to meet the TCR functional requirements in nano satellites. The proposed patch antenna can be utilized for the payload transmission which includes the amateur radio applications and earth monitoring. ©2010 IEEE.
