Dual-band C-band and X-band Array Antenna Microstrip for SAR on UAV

Abstract

Abstract—Imaging RADAR has become important nowadays, collecting more data in anytime and any whether condition has to be challenged. One of RADAR is SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) which process echo from reflection wave that has been transmitted. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is the one of airborne which can support SAR to transmit electromagnetic waves from the sky. In this research, microstrip antenna array for dual-band on C-band (5,8 GHz) and X-band (9,65 GHz) has designed. Using both of frequency at the same time, SAR will be obtained more data and more specific. The result of simulation has given the best result from the antenna microstrip array 1x8 that achieved the highest gain in both of frequency which is 9,11 dBi on 5,8 GHz and 5,37 dBi on 9,65 GHz.
