摘要：

This work provides a novel innovation on designing and implementing a nearly metal-only origami (Miura fold) structure for pattern reconfigurable phased array antennas on PaddleSat. The design of the Miura fold antenna holds the irreplaceable advantages of reducing the launch cost of the satellites while maintaining good performance for space solar power transmission. The paper offers an analysis of the simulated performances in terms of antenna gains and beam steering capabilities. The design of our origami antenna demonstrates more flexible capability such as manipulating the antenna gain patterns through its variable mechanical configurations.
