SAR Radar: The Future of Radar Systems

Sudhir Singh

Abstract


The first radar was invented 110 years ago. In the meantime, implementations have become various and the device principles for accessible technologies have been adopted. Main examples include speed control, air traffic control and synthetic radar, airborne and space borne flights, military applications and remote sensing. Work on clinical radar technology is well underway for the identification of breast cancer and the localization of tumors. Automotive safety and autonomous driving radar has meanwhile been developed in millions each year. In the coming years, the state-of-the-art radar system designs will face almost a revolution. Despite major advances, radar system technology has not been developed in the last 20 years, such as communications or other technologies. A few years from now, some of these emerging developments will enter radar and revolutionize the principles of the radar system. This will allow for new radar technology and a radar process control method.


Keywords: Antenna, EM Fields, Polari metric SAR, RADAR system, Synthetic Aperture Radar
