This paper presents a compact X-band antenna with an isoflux radiation pattern and circular polarization.
It consists of a miniaturized helix antenna connected to a stripline circuit that provides a sequential rotation feeding. The antenna is arranged over a vertically corrugated ground plane and it has been optimized for a CubeSat 3U nanosatellite platform. Its design, manufacture and results are here presented.
