Abstract

A dual-band dual-polarized coaxially-fed single-layer microstrip patch antenna with a compact structure has been demonstrated. The proposed antenna with a bandwidth of 154MHz (f0=6.83GHz) and 209MHz (f0=9.73GHz) was designed and fabricated successfully. From the results obtained, it can be seen that this novel antenna is capable of satisfying some of the requirements of an airborne SAR, for example, the radiation pattern and bandwidth requirements. In additions, For high data collections and accurate knowledge of targets missions which could need several frequency bands, this concept allows to share between C and X bands SAR system. Beside this, the concept can be simply adapted to design other antenna operating at different frequency band.
