Abstract

We propose the design of a low-cost dual-band transponder for calibrating C-band and X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites. The production costs are reduced since the design was done on an FR4 substrate. The amplifiers utilize a multistage common emitter (CE) topology while antennas consist of an 8-element concentric circular array.
