In this paper, we present the development of a multi-channel VHF/UHF ultra-wideband airborne radar sounder and imager for measurements of polar ice sheets. The radar was developed at the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets ( CReSIS) for operation onboard the German Alfred Wegener Institute ( AWI) Basler BT-67 aircraft. The system operates from 150 to 600 MHz corresponding to a vertical resolution of 33 cm in free space. The radar is equipped with three 4-m long 8-element antenna subarrays installed under the fuselage and both wings to support 8 transmit and 24 receive channels. The radar waveform from each transmit channel can be configured individually to enable real-time transmit beamforming for wide-swath ice bed imaging of up to 10 km wide. The radar system was deployed to Greenland in the spring of 2016 as a part of the joint AWI/CReSIS test campaign to conduct measurements over glaciers. Sample radar data from this field campaign are presented to illustrate the capability of the radar. |
