Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This paper presents the design and development of wideband dual‐polarized microstrip array antenna at L‐band for spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) applications. A new type of electromagnetically coupled microstrip patch fed by strip‐loaded coaxial probe has been used as single antenna element. These radiating elements have been combined to form a 2×6 array antenna using feeder network in stripline configuration. The simulated and measured performance on return loss and radiation parameters has been presented. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
