Design of Multiband Conformal Antenna for Sounding Rocket

In this paper, the design of a multiband low-profile conformal antenna for the first European suborbital launcher, MIURA-1 is presented. The antennas cover the telemetry and GNSS applications. Here, the antenna physical and RF characteristics are given. The proposed antennas-solution is not only interesting for the launcher’s market, but also could find its application in space, aviation, or automotive, as they can easily integrated in curved surfaces.
