Abstract

1 min read

In this paper we will illustrate an electromagnetic sounder model for Martian regolith we have developed. The model is based on Kirchhoff approximation. The incidence beam is assumed to be a Gaussian beam. The model is suited to study the near surface (upper 10 meters) ice detection capability of the L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for the international Mars Ice Mapping (iMIM) mission.
