Microstrip antenna for a multichannel radiometer
Abstract
The paper examines the design and basic characteristics of an airborne microstrip-antenna radiometric hygrometer operating at wavelengths of 2, 18, and 30 cm. The main parameters of experimental radiation patterns of the antenna arrays at the central and boundary frequencies are tabulated. For the 30-cm array the SWR does not exceed 1.6 in the operating-frequency band; for the 18-cm array the SWR is 1.3. Losses in the microstrip antenna are evaluated.
