Abstract
The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) and the Shallow Radar (SHARAD) are low frequency, pulse limited ground penetrating radars selected to investigate the Mars subsurface as payloads of the ESA Mars Express and NASA MRO missions respectively. Radar echoes coming from both surface and subsurface are strongly affected by geometry. The proposed work aims to produce a theoretical analysis for the various scenarios of interest, evaluating the impact on the data inversion process that aims to estimate the dielectric constant of materials composing the different detected sub-superficial interfaces.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
