“…The antenna developed in this work is intended to be used in a recent ground based microwave remote sensing application, namely Ground Based radar interferometry using Synthetic Aperture Radar(GBSAR) [1]. Printed antennas offer the possibility of low cost, low weight and scalability to high gain version [2] compared to conventional horn antennas.…”

This paper reports the development of a Circularly Polarized (CP) microstrip patch array working at Ku band and in particular between 16.9-17.2GHz for remote sensing applications. The design is based on a sequential rotation of four linearly polarized rectangular patches and appropriate phase shifts provided by a corporate feed network. The agreement between measurements and simulations carried out using HFSS is satisfactory.

“…As printed antennas, they offer the possibility of low cost, low weight, and scalability to a high gain version compared to conventional horn antennas; this latter condition results in the selection of microstrip technology. The requirements of this antenna array to be used in a terrestrial radar are: (i) An operating band of 17.05 ± 0.15 GHZ [27], (ii) sufficient polarization purity in this band, and, finally, (iii) the capability to be mounted into the available radar apparatus. The design of the array is based on the combination of four linear polarization elements to be produced, with an appropriate sequential rotation of the elements and the feeding network, RHCP and LHCP [24].…”

This paper reports some experimental results obtained by means of a commercial apparatus used by many researchers and users, where a pair of novel and specifically developed circular polarized antennas, designed to operate with Ku band-terrestrial radar interferometers, are used alternatively to the most conventional linear vertical polarized horns provided by the manufacturer of the apparatus. These radar acquisitions have been carried out to investigate for the first time the potential of circular polarization (CP) configurations for terrestrial radar interferometers (TRI) applications, aiming at improving monitoring of landslides, mines, and semi-urban areas. The study tries to evaluate whether the circular polarization response of natural and man-made targets can improve the interpretation of the radar images, with respect to the standard approach used in terrestrial radar interferometry, usually carried out in co-polar vertical polarization. The goal is to investigate how different polarization combinations, in terrestrial radar interferometry, affect the coherence and amplitude dispersion of natural media, potentially improving the identification of stable scatter.
