Abstract
This paper will describe a GPR prototype for the WISDOM - (Water Ice and Subsurface Deposit Observations on Mars) experiment on the ExoMars mission. The operation principle as well as the instrument design is explained. Simulations of the radar response to realistic geologic models of the Martian sub-surface are presented. Measurements with a commercial GPR system in Mars analog geology on earth are shown.
