dc.description.abstract | Drone borne radar systems have seen considerable advances over recent years, and the application of drone-mounted continuous wave (CW) radars for remote sensing of snow properties has great potential. Regardless, major challenges remain in antenna design for which both low weight and small size combined with high gain and bandwidth are important design parameters. Additional limiting factors for CW radars include range ambiguities and antenna isolation. To solve these problems, we have developed an ultra-wideband snow sounder (UWiBaSS), specifically designed for drone-mounted measurements of snow properties. In this paper, we present the next iteration of this prototype radar system, including a novel antenna configuration and useful processing techniques for drone borne radar. Finally, we present results from a field campaign on Svalbard aimed to measure snow depth distribution. This radar system is capable of measuring snow depth with a correlation coefficient of 0.97 compared to in situ depth probing | en_US |
