Abstract :
This paper presents initial results from the lab testing of a Ku-band cross-track interferometric downconverter designed for performing topographic and volumetric depth measurements. This interferometer will be used shortly in the field for measuring topography and to determine its capacity for estimating the volumetric depth of snow.
