Spaceborne distributed SAR antenna
Abstract
The MSAR c-band array panel was developed and tested. Each element of the antenna system is discussed individually as well as collectively. Textual descriptions together with test data are both used to enable a clear understanding of the antenna system performance. In general, test data has confirmed or exceeded expectations. Of particular note is the excellent cross polarization achieved with a field cancelling geometry.
