Glacier bed surveying with helicopter-borne dual-polarization ground-penetrating radar

Glacier bed surveying with helicopter-borne dual-polarization ground-penetrating radar

Traditionally, helicopter-borne ground-penetrating radar (GPR) systems are operated with a single pair of bistatic dipole antennas to measure the thickness of glaciers. We demonstrate numerically that the directivity of the radiation pattern of single airborne dipoles do not correspond to an ideal f...
