Instruments and Methods Sub-ice topography in Patriot Hills, West Antarctica: first results of a newly developed high-resolution FM-CW radar system

ABSTRACT. We present a newly developed high-resolution frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FM-CW) radar system for sounding the sub-ice topography. The system, working in the frequency range from 200 to 400 MHz, was developed to measure thickness and internal layers in cold ice with a resolution be...
