In this article, airborne broadband (maximum 400 MHz bandwidth) C-band circularly polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is proposed and developed for further study on compact (CP SAR) system using circular polarization. This article explains the scattering characteristic of polarization as concept SAR, configuration, RF antenna, ground test, flight test SAR in Hinotori-C2 (Firebird-C2) missi...

In this paper, a wideband circularly polarized (CP) filtering hybrid antenna is presented. The liquid dielectric resonator (DR) excited by microstrip-coupled cross-slot to generate CP radiation. Four inverted L-shaped strips are loaded on the ground plane introduce an additional resonant point, then two adjacent axial ratio (AR) minima combined improve bandwidth of single-feed antenna. By etchi...

A novel compact circular-polarization (CP) operation of the square microstrip antenna with four slits and a pair of truncated corners is proposed and investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed compact CP design can have an antenna-size reduction of about 36% as compared to the conventional corner-truncated square microstrip antenna at a given operating frequency. Also, the requir...

A dual frequency and dual circular polarisation multilayer microstrip antenna element for satellite communication is presented. The element is fed by a gap-coupled probe pin. The microstrip element exhibits a dual frequency band of operation for two orthogonal circular polarisations. A parametric study to optimise the element performance has been conducted. A prototype with dimensions that are ...

lenses are often used to converge electromagnetic wave namely they convert incident phase front of feed antenna to a flat phase front. together, the lens and the feed create an electrically large aperture antenna. flat lenses provide the cost and weight benefits of the reflect-arrays, while maintaining the advantages of a lens antenna. these lenses use an array of unit-cells which are excited b...
