Abstract The 1U CubeSat is a well-known modern nanosatellite and has a typical volume of 10 × 10 × 10 cm3 and weighs as little as 1.33 kg. Compact high-performance antennas are used in CubeSats. This paper presents a low-profile high-gain metamaterial-based stacked antenna for CubeSats. The antenna achieves a fractional bandwidth of 11.48% with overall antenna dimensions of 0.84λ × 0.82λ × 0.099λ at the lower end frequency of 8.29 GHz. The realized gain was increased to 37.32% (increased from 8.01 dB to 11 dB) by using a negative-µ metamaterial ground plane. The antenna performance was also investigated using a 1U CubeSat body.
