DESCRIPTION:Conformal Integration of antennas with solar panels has wide ap
 plications\, from small spacecraft\, Mars rovers\, to self-powered wireles
 s sensors. It is particularly beneficial when the surface real estate is a
  major challenge\, such as a CubeSat. A strategic integration not only red
 uces the development cost\, promotes a robust communication link\, but als
 o increases the mission capacity by allowing more science instruments to b
 e mounted on the CubeSat. This lecture covers different conformal antenna 
 designs for solar panel integration\, from UHF to Ka band. It includes ant
 ennas integrated under solar cells\, around solar cells\, and optically tr
 ansparent antennas integrated on top of solar cells. It also covers low ga
 in and high gain design. The high gain design mainly focuses on reflectarr
 ay antenna\, which may be beneficial to those who wishes to study the subj
 ect. As these antennas are integrated with solar panel\, a unique and comp
 lex subsystem\, effects of solar cells on the antenna and vice versa need 
 to be analyzed and quantified. The lecture presents analysis of a typical 
 space-certified solar cell\, extracted model\, experimental set-up to quan
 tify the interaction between solar cells and the integrated antennas.\n\nS
