    • Snow detection on antenna radomes using signal processing 

      Fauske, Åse Nordahl (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-06-25)
      Radomes are dome-shaped covers that protect the antenna from the climate, such as rain, wind, sunlight, and snow. Even though the radomes protect the antenna from snow and ice, it does not prevent snow and ice from building up on the radome. When snow and ice build up enough on the radome, the signal passing through it loses strength. This project tries to detect snow and ice build-up on antenna ...
