Abstract :
In this paper we show an airborne miniaturized SAR system operating at 94 GHz. Modern synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are capable to provide high resolution images under difficult conditions. Challenging is the integration of a SAR system into small aerial vehicles and to cope with their unstable flight conditions.
