Influence of platform scattering on W-Band CubeSat missions

In this paper, an analysis of a W-band reflector antenna mounted in a 6-unit CubeSat is is presented. The analysis shows the significant effects of the CubeSat structure on the performance of the antenna, both on the peak gain and side-lobe levels while the impact on XPD performance is less significant.
