Dual mode detectors combining metal detection and ground-penetrating radar are increasingly being used during humanitarian demining operations because of their ability to discriminate metal clutter. There are many reports in the academic literature studying metal detector and ground-penetrating radar systems individually. However, the combination of these techniques has received much less attention.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAntennas are an important component in ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems. Although there has been much research reported on the design of individual antennas, there is less research reported on the design of the geometry of bi-static antennas. This paper considers the effects of key parameters in the setup of a GPR head consisting of a bi-static bow-tie pair to show the effect of these parameters on the GPR performance.
