A system and method of using a transceiver antenna formed on a fixed outer panel of a cubesat includes electrically coupling an RF feed to a first edge of the outer panel and electrically coupling an RF return to a second edge of the outer panel, the second edge being opposite from the first edge. The RF feed and the RF return being disposed approximately one half a height of the outer panel. An RF distribution plane is electrically coupled to the RF feed and the RF return by substantially equal length circuits. A communication system is electrically coupled to the RF distribution plane. The transceiver antenna does not require deployment and thus improves reliability.
