Abstract
Significance of SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite regadless of weather have grown for Earth observation. According to the cost-effective trend in satellite development, SAR antenna is actively studied. It's a competitive candidate to use deployable SAR antenna out of CFRP. In this study, variables for an antenna configuration model was researched and evaluated. The design of the antenna was structurally analyzed by FEM(Finite Element Model). Tool-kit was developed for modifying the SAR antenna model easily in accordance with system requirement change. In the tool-kit, antenna configuration design and error analysis of the antenna surface could be achieved. And compatibility of tool-kit results to CST, a RF analysis program, was confirmed.
