  • Abstract
    • Femto-Satellites are useful for Disaster Management only if a communication link of 500 km is achieved • Few amplifiers were tested in order to have the best ratio between gain and power consumption • An array of ceramic antennas was designed in order to increase gain and directivity reducing the mass • Future work: A high altitude balloon test is required in order to validate the link with the ground station
