      Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; McWilliams, Kathryn A.; Hussey, Glenn; Galeschuk, Draven; Chau, Jorge L.; Vierinen, Juha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-07)
      The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E-region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR) is a VHF coherent scatter radar that operates with a field-of-view centered on 58°N, 106°W and measures characteristics of ionospheric E-region plasma density irregularities. The initial operations of ICEBEAR utilized a wavelength-spaced linear receiving array to determine the angle of arrival of the ionospheric ...
    • ICEBEAR-3D: A Low Elevation Imaging Radar Using a Non-Uniform Coplanar Receiver Array for E Region Observations 

      Lozinsky, Adam; Hussey, Glenn; McWilliams, Kathryn; Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; Galeschuk, Draven (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-19)
      The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR) has been reconfigured using a phase error minimization and stochastic antenna location perturbation technique. The resulting 45-baseline sparse non-uniform coplanar T-shaped array, ICEBEAR-3D, is used for aperture synthesis radar imaging of low elevation targets. The reconfigured receiver antenna array now has ...
    • ICEBEAR: An All‐Digital Bistatic Coded Continuous Wave Radar for Studies of the E Region of the Ionosphere 

      Huyghebaert, Devin; Hussey, Glenn; Vierinen, Juha; McWilliams, Kathryn; St‐Maurice, Jean-Pierre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-15)
      The Ionospheric Continuous-wave E region Bistatic Experimental Auroral Radar (ICEBEAR) is a coherent scatter ionospheric radar. It operates at a frequency of 49.5 MHz, which is ideal for observing E region coherent echoes. The radar is located in Saskatchewan, Canada, and is operated by the University of Saskatchewan. The ICEBEAR system uses a continuous-wave (CW) signal and requires isolation between ...
