A radar system includes a transmit front end device including a transmit planar component, and a receive front end device including a receive planar component. Each of the transmit planar component and the receive planar component includes a first end, a second end, a cavity space and a linear array of antennas. The cavity space is bounded by beam ports along a first side of the cavity space and by array ports along a second side of the cavity space. The cavity space is in operative communication with the beam ports and with the array ports to form a Rotman lens. A linear array of antennas is located along the second end of the planar component. The transmit planar component and receive planar component are arranged such that the linear array of antennas of the transmit planar component and the linear array of antennas are perpendicular to one another.

Provided is a dual-band multimode antenna feed for a high-frequency band and a low-frequency band. The feed includes four high-frequency waveguide ports, where each high-frequency waveguide port is connected to a respective high-frequency input/output waveguide. Each high-frequency input/output waveguide includes a high-frequency waveguide aperture facing a first section for mixing electromagnetic modes in the E-plane. The first section is connected to a second section for mixing electromagnetic modes in the H-plane.
