Dielectric properties of fresh and sea ice at 10 and 35 GHz

A free-space and in-waveguide dielectric constant measurement facility at 10 and 35 GHz is described. Results are presented for the dielectric constant and loss of both fresh and sea ice at these frequencies, and are interpreted in terms of a dielectric model of sea ice. Suggestions are made for pos...

Description
Summary:A free-space and in-waveguide dielectric constant measurement facility at 10 and 35 GHz is described. Results are presented for the dielectric constant and loss of both fresh and sea ice at these frequencies, and are interpreted in terms of a dielectric model of sea ice. Suggestions are made for possible improvements in the model and the measurement technique.
