Abstract
A membrane phased array antenna consists of an array antenna and miniaturized transmit/receive (T/R) module is investigated for GEO SAR application. The radiation pattern of the array antenna is analyzed with finite element method (FEM). The T/R module with compact size and light weight is designed and developed. Based on these research, a prototype of the $1 \times 4$ element phased array is designed, fabricated and measured. The test results show that the VSWR of the phased array is less than 1.5 from 1.16 GHz to 1.24 GHz, the steering angles is $\pm 30^{\mathrm{o}}$ in receive and transmit modes, respectively. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
