Radar Interferometric Measurements With a Planar Patch Antenna Array

A planar patch antenna array has been made for radar interferometry. The antenna array consists of 32 rectangular patches on a ceramic loaded teflon substrate. The patches are individually coupled to the microwave electronics in two orthogonal circular polarizations. The radar interferometer is intended for topographic imaging in industrial environment, in this case, a blast furnace producing hot metal for the steel and metal industry. Ordinary imaging techniques with IR or visible radiation are not possible to use due to high temperatures, scattering from dust and particles. A model of blast furnace burden material surface was measured and detected.
