A Comprehensive Study of Resistor-Loaded Planar Dipole Antennas for Ground Penetrating Radar Applications

iii Abstract Ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems are increasingly being used for the detection and location of buried objects within the upper regions of the earth’s surface. The antenna is the most critical component of such a system. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of resistor-loaded planar dipole antennas for GPR applications using both theory and experiments. The theoretical a...

An ice-sheet-wide framework for englacial attenuation from ice-penetrating radar data

Radar inference of the bulk properties of glacier beds, most notably identifying basal melting, is, in general, derived from the basal reflection coefficient. On the scale of an ice sheet, unambiguous determination of basal reflection is primarily limited by uncertainty in the englacial attenuation of the radio wave, which is an Arrhenius function of temperature. Existing bed-returned power alg...

Dipole antennas

Much of the work of Spectrum Planning Group is based on well established principles of ‘antennas and propagation’. Propagation matters have received a lot of attention over the years and much has been written on the topic but the ‘antennas’ part, although arguably simpler, may lack a suitable written reference that gathers much of the relevant material into one place. The primary purpose of thi...
