Detection of Crystal Orientation Fabrics in the Divide Region Using Polarimetric Radar Methods (I-163M)
PI: Charlie Raymond and Kenichi Matsuoka (University of Washington)
Fig. 2: Dual-frequency radar system on a 16-foot-long Komotek sled. The gray Faraday cage houses the radar system. The front black part hosts an operator during the polarimetric measurements. Bigger 8-element Yagi antennas are for 179 MHz, while smaller 3-element Yagi antennas are for 60 MHz. Transmitting and receiving antennas were installed at each side parallel to the sled axis so that the polarization-plane azimuth is consistent with that of the sled axis. As the shape of the antenna structure suggests Frankenstein, the sled was named Frankensled. Back to Report
