The authors presents laboratory measurements of complex permittivity and permeability carried out on some samples of materials considered as Martian soil analogues. Data on the propagation of electromagentic waves, given in terms of attenuation and skin depth, are calculated. In addition the maximum depth of detection for some selected interfaces has been estimated. The results are of interest for future space missions to Mars that foresee the subsoil sounding through Ground Penetrating Radar systems (e.g. ExoMars).

Abstract
The authors presents laboratory measurements of complex permittivity and permeability carried out on some samples of materials considered as Martian soil analogues. Data on the propagation of electromagentic waves, given in terms of attenuation and skin depth, are calculated. In addition the maximum depth of detection for some selected interfaces has been estimated. The results are of interest for future space missions to Mars that foresee the subsoil sounding through Ground Penetrating Radar systems (e.g. ExoMars).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
