| Abstract | The motivation to develop an ultra light-weight antenna system was driven by a space borne radar application. The Experiment “Water Ice and Subsurface Deposit Observations on Mars” (WISDOM) is a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) selected to be part of the Pasteur payload on board the rover of the ExoMars mission. Among the Pasteur Panoramic Instruments on the ExoMars rover, only WISDOM can provide a view of the subsurface structure. WISDOM is the first GPR on a planetary rover. It has been designed to characterize the shallow subsurface structure of Mars. WISDOM will for the first time give access to the geological structure, electromagnetic nature, and, possibly, hydrological state of the shallow subsurface by retrieving the layering and properties of the buried reflectors. It will address important scientific questions regarding the planet's present state and past evolution. The measured data will also be used to determine the most promising locations to obtain underground samples with the drilling system mounted on board the rover. The instrument's objective is to get high-resolution measurements down to 2 m depth in the Martian crust. The radar is a gated step frequency system covering a frequency range from 500 MHz to 3 GHz. The radar is fully polarimetric and makes use of an ultra wideband antenna system based on Vivaldi antenna elements. The paper describes antenna requirements to fulfil for this very specific GPR application and it gives an overview about the light-weight design and its realization. Simulated and measured antenna performance is compared in this paper. Test measurements were performed in permafrost regions on earth. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
