Abstract
This paper presents printed spiral antennae for use in CubeSats and PocketQubes (Small Satellites). The antenna is designed to operate in the 70 cm HAM band under the maximum return loss of 10 dB. Design of the antenna was conducted through CST Microwave Studio, while the fabrication process was carried out through chemical etching. The resulting frequency was at 503 MHz.
