Abstract

The progress in dual-band dual-polarization (DBDP) shared-aperture antennas for the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) application in the last decade is reviewed. Several designs of DBDP SAR antenna arrays are introduced with their main performances, then their comparison is summarized. In addition, some techniques enhancing DBDP antenna performances are presented.
