Reported the possibility of creating side-scan radar millimeter-wave band in purpose of aerospace environmental
monitoring of physiologically active substances (PAM) in the range of 3 - 4 mm. The block diagram of side-looking
radar and constructive solutions to the receiving and transmitting tract are described. The structural configuration
provides sensing of the atmosphere in two modes: active and passive (radiometer). Presented the basic technical
characteristics of side-looking radar.
Keywords: radar, ecology, monitoring, pollution, remote sensing
