Ultra-Wideband Ground Penetrating Impulse Radar

On the basis of numerical simulations of different GPR scenarios and field experience the technical requirements for the impulse GPR system specialized on detection and identification of small and shallow buried objects have been formulated. These requirements have been partly realized in the video impulse ground penetrating radar system developed in IRCTR. Experimental trials confirmed that the system can detect small dielectric and metal targets at a depth up to 50cm. Images build from the acquired data allow to determine position,size, shape and (sometimes) internal structure of the buried objects (Groenenboom, Yarovoy(2000)).
