Abstract
This paper explores the behavior of a self-deploying helical pantograph antenna for CubeSats. The helical pantograph concept is described along with concepts for attachment to the satellite bus. Finite element folding simulations of a pantograph consisting of eight helices are presented and compared to compaction force experiments done on a prototype antenna. Reflection coefficient test are also presented, demonstrating the operating frequency range of the prototype antenna. The helical pantograph is shown to be a promising alternative to current small satellite antenna solutions.
