Abstract

A broadband antenna for circularly polarized synthetic aperture radar (CP-SAR) sensor has been designed. This L-band sensor is projected to reduce the Faraday rotation effect and generate the axial ratio image (ARI), which is a new data that expectantly will reveal unique various backscattering characteristics. The sensor will be installed onboard unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which will be aimed for fundamental research and applications. To satisfy the requirements of the CP-SAR system onboard UAV, a new broadband microstrip antenna design is presented in this paper. The finite-element method is employed for optimizing the design and achieving a good circular polarization at the center frequency of 1.27 GHz. The broadband axial ratio bandwidth and reasonable gain indicate that this antenna is promising for the CP-SAR sensor. This research will contribute to the field of radar for remote-sensing technology
