On the role of measurement configuration in contactless GPR data processing by means of linear inverse scattering

This paper deals with a linear two-dimensional inverse scattering problem within a half space geometry with data gathered far away from the interface, which is relevant in ground penetrating radar contactless data processing. In particular, the role of the measurement configuration is discussed with regard to the information retrievable from multifrequency data.
