Ultra light-weight antenna system for full polarimetric GPR applications
International audience The motivation to develop an ultra light-weight antenna system was driven by a space borne radar application. The experiment ldquowater ice and subsurface deposit observations on Marsrdquo (WISDOM) is a ground penetrating radar (GPR) selected to be part of the Pasteur payload...
