Summary: | A very short pulse C-band radar system to detect hidden crevasses in Antarctica has been developed. The characteristics of the new radar system are shown. A preliminary experiment to measure the distances of four targets made of plywood board was done in a laboratory to confirm the fundamental characteristics of the radar. Another preliminary experiment to detect the walls of a pit dug in a snow pile was performed by the radar to determine the usefulness of this radar for crevasse detection. |
