contenttypeSummary

The snow radar or ultra wideband microwave radar (UWB/M) is for mapping near surface internal layers with very fine resolution and measuring the thickness of snow over sea ice. The system is designed to operate in Frequency-Modulated and Continuous Wave (FMCW) mode for low-altitude measurements (500-1000 m) and stretch mode for high-altitude measurements 2500 m and above.
