Abstract

We propose to use Ultra Wide Band Radar (UWB) as a sensor for soil moisture and water content of snowpack. The key innovations are the application of UWB to form Synthetic Aperture images using a UWB radar mounted on a Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV). Initial results indicate excellent sensitivity of UWB to moisture. Key features of UWB for this application are low power, ?ghost free? SAR imaging, and sub inch ranging accuracy.
