Abstract :
A detailed glaciological study using GPR will be carried out with emphasis on a new C-band system operating at a centre frequency of 5.3GHz. This will allow features within the upper layers of the glacier that contribute to the backscatter signal received by satellite borne SAR sensors to be determined. The C-band radar is a polarimetric Step-Frequency Continuous- Wave (SFCW) radar with 1 GHz bandwidth. This paper presents the C-band GPR radar system.
