UAV-BORNE UWB RADAR FOR SNOWPACK SURVEYS. (8/2018)
In this report we summarize the capabilities and technical characteristics of our UAV-borne UWB radar system, designed for conducting snow surveys. We developed an ultrawideband snow sounder that is capable of imaging snow stratigraphy with a 5 cm range resolution. The radar can be carried by an oct...
