Prototyping an UWB Airborne Radar for Snow Probing Using Modular Building Blocks.

The article offers information related to ultra-wideband (UWB) airborne radar for snow probing using modular building blocks. Topics discussed include that the modules are based on tailored microwave filters, off-the-shelf building blocks from a commercial supplier and custom direct current biasing circuits; and integration of microwave components using this technique to enable evaluation of different configurations to improve radar performance.
