Abstract
Low frequency Radio Experiment (LORE) is a proposed space payload for space weather observations from space, operating between few KHz to 30 MHz. This paper presents preliminary design and practical implementation of LORE antenna systems, which consists of three mutually orthogonal mono-poles. Detailed computational electromagnetic simulations, carried out to study the performance of the antenna systems, are presented, followed up by laboratory tests of the antennas as well as radiation tests with a long range test range, designed for this purpose. These tests form the first phase of the design and implementation of the full LORE prototype later in the year.
