Abstract

© 2018 International Union of Radio Science URSI. In this paper the design and optimization process of a radar remote sensing calibration antenna is presented. The solution consists in a septum polarizer and a high gain Potter horn with exceptionally low axial ratio (0.2 dB) and low SLL at 5.3 GHz. To obtain a compact design, a dielectric lens has been designed to correct the horn phase error and reduce the final length. As the lens degrades the return loss, impedance matching transformers are designed and simulated in order to fulfill the system specifications. Finally measurements of the septum polarizer are shown and discussed.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-31:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 3.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 3 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 3.
