Cube satellite (CubeSat) technology is a promising new alternative to traditional satellites in radio astronomy, earth observation, weather forecasting, space research, and communications. Its size, on the other hand, imposes more stringent constraints on the circuitry and components, which must be closely placed and extremely power efficient. CubeSat antennas are one of the most important components that will require careful design because they must be lightweight, tiny in size, and compact or deployable for bigger antennas. This study provides an overview of antennas appropriate for picosatellite applications. Before delving into the antenna requirements, a summary of picosatellites' applications will be provided. The materials and antenna topologies used will be studied further before presenting numerous deployable versions. Finally, a perspective and future research on CubeSat antennas will be covered in the final section.
