This paper presents a high-gain patch antenna array designed for CubeSat applications. The antenna incorporates parasitic elements to enhance its performance, focusing on improving both gain and impedance matching. The proposed design aims to achieve optimal resonance and operational efficiency within the X-band frequency range. Specifically, the resonant frequency of the antenna is tuned to 8.15 GHz, making it suitable for applications in satellite communication and weather monitoring systems. The design features a 1x2 patch antenna array, which has been optimized to provide a high gain of 11.8 dB at the resonant frequency of 8.15 GHz. This performance is attributed to the inclusion of parasitic elements that effectively boost the antenna’s directivity and overall efficiency. Additionally, the antenna exhibits favorable impedance matching characteristics, with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.4054 and a reflection coefficient of −15.4295 dB at the operating frequency. These results demonstrate that the proposed antenna is well-suited for CubeSat applications, where high gain and low reflection are critical for reliable communication and data transmission. The combination of high gain, efficient impedance matching, and strong resonant performance at 8.15 GHz makes this antenna design a promising solution for next-generation CubeSat communication systems and weather monitoring platforms operating in the X-band.
