In this article, operational performance variations of VHF and UHF turnstile antennas widely utilized in Cube Satellites (CubeSats) are investigated according to their placement positions on 3U size platforms. Considering the utilizable space constraints in CubeSats and the volume of the orbital deployer case, a platform-integrated deployable turnstile antenna concept is applied for VHF and UHF antennas designed at 145 MHz and 435 MHz, respectively. The performances of conceptual deployable turn
