Abstract
We describe an 840 MHz pulsed radar system developed for airborne sounding of polar glaciers and ice caps. The system performance (ratio of transmitter power to minimum detectable signal) is 126 dB. A sampling time base converts the received signal to audio frequencies, and data are recorded in analogue form on magnetic tape. Computer-enhanced time sections for a glacier and an ice shelf are presented as examples.Keywords
