Abstract
A high-efficiency active printed-circuit antenna system for pulsed frequency-hopping space radar electronically scanned in two planes encompasses in its timing diagram the transmission of a horizontal polarization pulse, the reception of echoes from a previous horizontal polarization pulse, the transmission of a vertical polarization pulse and the reception of echoes from a previous vertical polarization pulse. The system comprises several thousand MMIC modules distributed over the antenna and each connected to a printed-circuit radiating element comprising a plurality of dual polarized square patches connected by microstrip lines which excite them with the same amplitude and the same phase at two perpendicular ports. Switching between the two ports procures transmission or reception with horizontal or vertical polarization.
