The intensification of the Earth remote sensing determines the development of satellite radars with synthetic aperture for small spacecrafts. The main paths of their technical implementation are distinguished: based on hybrid mirror antennas and on active phased-array antennas. The designated implementation paths not only determine the appearance of a single spacecraft, but also affect the appearance of and requirements for the constellation of satellites as a whole. Different technical implementations, in turn, provide various capabilities and functions of radar systems. In this work, the key trends in creating synthetic aperture radars are considered. A variant of the architecture of an onboard radar complex for a small spacecraft on the basis of an AESA based digital beamforming antenna array is proposed. It has been demonstrated that the developed architecture makes it possible to survey with broadband probe signals in a wide range of viewing angles without rotating the spacecraft, permits the use of MIMO radar technology and allows solving problems of single-flight interferometry and moving target selection.
