Abstract :
A dual-polarized phased array antenna for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) application is introduced in this paper. The RF topology configuration is illuminated briefly. An antenna module was tested and the measured results are presented, with which an applied array antenna should be extended with RF distribution networks, power supply and control subsystem used.
