MARC recordDesign and operation of a portable, digital impulse radar / F.H.M. Jones, B.B. Narod, Garry K.C. Clarke.
| Title: | Design and operation of a portable, digital impulse radar / F.H.M. Jones, B.B. Narod, Garry K.C. Clarke. |
| Author(s): | Jones, F. H. M. Narod, B. B. Clarke, Garry K. C. |
| Date: | 1989. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1989.), Vol. 35(119) (1989) |
| Abstract: | Describes back-portable, impulse-radar instrument which is powered by dry cells, and records and stores data digitally. Radar is controlled by on-board, purpose-built microcomputer that ensures simple field operation, facilitates modifications, and allows unattended operation when investigating time-varying targets. Transmitting unit is triggered from receiver via optical link and generates electromagnetic wavelet by discharging two high-voltage capacitors through back-to-back silicon-controlled rectifiers into resistively loaded dipole antenna. Successful field operations carried out during summers of 1986 and 1987 include depth profiling, as well as studies of en- and subglacial targets, on several temperate and sub-polar glaciers. |
