Design of a System-in-Package Module with Integrated Antenna for TinyGS Applications

This paper introduces the design and implementation of a compact ground station hardware system for the reception of data from low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Using LoRa technology and System-in-Package (SiP) integration, the proposed architecture consolidates multiple components into a highly miniaturized form factor, featuring an embedded 2.4 GHz antenna, with overall dimensions of 10mm × 15mm × 3mm. The system is engineered to ensure reliable performance under the demanding conditions of LEO satellite communication, providing robust and efficient data reception and processing capabilities. This cost-effective and space-optimized solution facilitates greater access to satellite-derived data and services, particularly in remote or resource-constrained environments. The prototype was fabricated and rigorously tested using an evaluation kit, effectively validating the technical feasibility of the design.
