Abstract
A microstrip antenna designed for microsatellites with solar cells on the surface has been developed. High-gain antennas require a large surface area of the microsatellite, which reduces the area available for solar cells. By installing high-gain antenna arrays consisting of these microstrip antennas, the area required for solar cells is not reduced because the microstrip antenna has solar cells on its surface
