Abstract :
We have accomplished a prototype of wide band Coherent ice penetrating radar system which can be used for polar ice depth measurement. The radar uses pulse compression and Coherent integration techniques and works in the VHF band. Using different transmit power, the system can operate in both surface-based and airborne applications. A dual-channel receiver is introduced for better performance on different layer´ s return signals. Related EMC considerations are also given.
