Abstract
A novel dual-band dual-polarised microstrip antenna array for synthetic aperture radar applications with a dual-frequency ratio of about 1:3 is presented. Microstrip dipoles and square patches are used as the radiating elements at S- and X-bands, respectively. The measured bandwidth of VSWR<2 reaches 8.9% and 17% for S- and X-bands, respectively. The measured cross-polarisation levels are <-26 dB for the S-band and <-31 dB for the X-band
