Millimeter-wave radar sensor for snow height measurements
S.854-861 A small and lightweight frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system is used for the determination of snow height by measuring the distance to the snow surface from a platform. The measurements have been performed at the Centre des Etudes de la Neige (Col de Porte), which is loc...
