    Abstract

    A C-band four-frequency resonant stacked-patch array antenna is developed for synthetic thinned aperture radiometer measurements of hurricane force wind speeds. This antenna is being integrated into an aircraft instrument referred to as the Hurricane Imaging Radiometer (HIRAD). Details of the antenna design are presented along with antenna performance tests and laboratory measurements using a full-scale prototype array with a subset model of the HIRAD instrument.
