A Compact, Reconfigurable, Multi-UWB Radar for Snow Thickness Evaluation and Altimetry: Development and Field Trials

Abstract: We developed a portable ultra-wideband radar system capable of reconfigurable operation in multiple frequency bands (separate or simultaneous) spanning from microwaves through millimeter-waves. The instrument provides a compact solution for fine-resolution measurements of elevation changes and superficial snow/firn thickness from low-altitude, mid-sized airborne platforms. In this paper, we provide an overview of the radar system design and its performance during laboratory testing. We demonstrate its applicat… Show more

“…The bandwidth reduction results in a commensurate degradation in vertical resolution in free space from 2.5 to 3.75 cm, but this did not affect the signal-to-noise ratio and snow penetration in a significant manner. Rodríguez-Morales et al (2021a) and Li et al (2019) Figure 2. Flowchart of main data processing steps.…”

“…At present, the studies on methods of estimating the thickness of medium are mainly focused on the common detection scenes such as wall, snow, etc. [14,15] , and there is no relevant research on coal. Therefore, this study conducts propagation experiments of UWB radar in coal, investigates the attenuation variation law during the penetration process of UWB radar waves through coal samples, and proposes a modified life localization method.…”
