This progress could not have taken place without the concomitant advances in the technology of planar circuits, modelling techniques, and computer-aided design (CAD) software. It is evident from developments in the United States and elsewhere that there is an increasing demand for improved circuit performance, higher design accuracy, and greater circuit density on a chip, all with higher yield. Unfortunately, industry's progress in improved device and component modelling, as well as advances in CAD techniques to meet these requirements, have not kept pace. In light of this observation, it is appropriate for us to \"take stock\" of where we are, where we wish to be in the near future, and what must be done to get there. In general terms, this is the theme of this paper.","PeriodicalId":227595,"journal":{"name":"1986 16th European Microwave Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129120537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For short range battlefield reconnaissance applications mm wave imaging sensors find increasing interest. Preliminary studies show that high resolution SAR sensors in the usual sidelooking configuration may be developed at 35 GHz and 94 GHz in the near future. Imaging systems, based on Synthetic Aperture Radar concept for airborne and spaceborne applications are designed for a straight linear flight path. In this paper an unusual concept of a Synthetic Aperture Radar with rotating antennas for high resolution imaging is discussed, based on the rotational rather than the translational movement of the antenna phase center. The ROSAR concept has potential benefits for civil and military helicopter borne imaging applications, if the antennas are mounted at the tips of the rotor blades, for example. The concept has two main potential benefits, that are, the imaging field of view is 360° and there is no need for a forward velocitiy, because the rotor induced Doppler spectrum is used for imaging only. For the special helicopter requirements the mm wave frequencies (35 GHz/94 GHz) looks feasible. As opposed to SAR systems, based on linear antenna movement, high resolution ROSAR imaging is based on synthetic apertures of circular shape and the ROSAR processing differs considerably from the regular SAR processing schemes.","PeriodicalId":227595,"journal":{"name":"1986 16th European Microwave Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130648596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unit consists of an attenuator and 3 bit PIN diode phase shifter. The attenuator is of the absorptive type and uses phase optimized PIN diode modules. The unwanted phase variation as a function of attenuation is minimized to ±15° in the entire frequency range. Each phase shifter bit is of the hybrid coupler reflective type and uses broadside coupled transmission lines as matching networks as well as DC isolation. The matching networks are designed to give optimized phase vs frequency response.","PeriodicalId":227595,"journal":{"name":"1986 16th European Microwave Conference","volume":"413 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114121946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
