Permittivity depth profile measurements of the antarctic firn layer in the 0.4-2 GHz band

A microwave sensor aimed to characterize the complex permittivity depth profile of the Antarctic firn layer is presented. It is based on the open-coaxial re-entrant cavity method. Preliminary results of the measured permittivity depth profile on the Antarctic firn is also presented showing a very go...

Description
Summary:A microwave sensor aimed to characterize the complex permittivity depth profile of the Antarctic firn layer is presented. It is based on the open-coaxial re-entrant cavity method. Preliminary results of the measured permittivity depth profile on the Antarctic firn is also presented showing a very good agreement to expected values.
