Three systems are compared: A standard system with separate transmit/receive dipoles, a dual-band dipole for both transmit and receive and a dual-band monopole, which uses the body of 1U cubesat (10 {\texttimes} 10 {\texttimes} 10cm) as a {\textquotedblleft}groundplane{\textquotedblright}. Additionally it is demonstrated that with appropriate feed the dipole might be used in monopole configuration in case of deployment system malfunction.}, doi = {10.23919/EuCAP.2017.7928135}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=7928135}, author = {K.
