Abstract
An antenna is provided that is configured to implement a combined radar and radiometric imaging method. The antenna comprises: a bearing device on which is rigidly mounted: rotating waveguide adapter which provides the output for the antenna; an electromechanical drive, the output shaft of which is defined as the main axis of rotation for the antenna and a position sensor. The antenna further comprises an antenna rotor, the rotation of which is configured to be controlled by the output shaft of the electromechanical drive of the bearing device. The antenna rotor comprises: at least one 2D diffraction grating; planar dielectric waveguide connected over a diffraction field to the 2D diffraction grating; a linear waveguide turn; and a feed adapter.
