Abstract
Martian Polar Layered Deposits, most likely dusty ice are transparent to radar waves. The reflected signal is generally above the noise and can be used to estimate the dielectric properties of the bedrock. Assuming the permittivity of the first layer is known, we use a simplified inversion method to extract the bedrock relative dielectric permittivity below the North PLD's.
