在回顾和总结国际微波遥感发展40余年和中国微波遥感发展30余年的基础上，着重分析中国微波遥感技术发展现状，分析了中国在未来几十年对微波遥感发展的广泛要求。文章提出适应这些需求并进一步提高微波遥感发展水平的若干战略设想和一些值得重视研究的前沿技术领域，指出了当前我国在发展微波遥感中值得重视的几个问题。

The development of microwave remote sensing technologies and their applications during the past 30-40 years, both in worldwide and in China, are reviewed and analyzed. Emphases are paid on the analyses of development status and increasing demand for microwave remote sensing in China in future tens of years. Based on the analyses, several strategic considerations and frontier technologies essential to future development and application are proposed.
