In this chapter the design issues for supporting high-range resolution modes, using two important classes of antenna, the traditional parabolic dish and the more modern phased array radars, are presented. The topics raised are representative of most types of antenna employed in target recognition. There are no critical issues for JEM associated with the antenna, as it is a narrow bandwidth mode.
