A novel Circularly Polarized (CP) Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications is presented and discussed in this paper. The proposed constructed by a question mark shaped radiating patch truncated ground plane. prototype of the designed fabricated on FR4-substrate with an overall volume 0.7λ0×0.793λ0×0.035λ0 at 7 GHz. simulated results show that has Impedance Ba...

In permafrost regions, active layer thickness (ALT) observations measure the effects of climate change and predict hydrologic elemental cycling. Often, ALT is measured through direct ground-based measurements. Recently, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements from airborne platforms have emerged as a method for observing seasonal thaw subsidence, soil moisture, in regions. This study valida...

Soil pipes are common and important features of many catchments, particularly in semi-arid and humid areas, and can contribute a large proportion of runoff to river systems. They may also significantly influence catchment sediment and solute yield. However, there are often problems in finding and defining soil pipe networks which are located deep below the surface. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR...

In this paper, first, a new range-estimation technique using time reversal (TR) for ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) applications is presented. The estimator is referred to as the TR/GPR range estimator. The motivation for this paper comes from the need of accurately estimating the location of underground objects such as landmines or unexploded ordinance for safe clearance. Second, the Cramér–Rao...

[1] Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) helps to constrain the origin of relict and largely buried fluvial channels in the Bir Kiseiba region of southern Egypt. Our results indicate that the trunk channel to a tributary system identified in Shuttle Imaging Radar data is incised 10–12 m into bedrock, was southwest draining in its final configuration and laterally migrating toward the northwest, and a...

An important problem of marble-quarry management is assessing the quality and the homogeneity of quarry blocks before excavation. In this study, we decided to image the limestone, which we studied in a marble quarry, in terms of layer thickness, discontinuities and cavities using the ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) method. The method was successfully applied to detect and map the fractures with ...

The defect investigation of sluice floor is an important measure to ensure the safe operation sluice. due traditional drilling methods will cause damage floor, and appearance inspection compressive strength test can not evaluate internal defects reinforced concrete in floor. In this paper, we apply ground penetrating radar(GPR) quality a gate seawall. And describe layout, detection principle da...

The objectives of this study were to detect coarse tree root and to estimate root biomass in the field by using an advanced 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (3D GPR) system. This study obtained full-resolution 3D imaging results of tree root system using 500 MHz and 800 MHz bow-tie antennas, respectively. The measurement site included two larch trees, and one of them was excavated after GPR measurem...

A cooperative target (CT) has been developed to enhance the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) signal-toclutter ratio for buried man-made targets. Applications include tagging high-value buried structures and monitoring microtunnelling equipment. Results are presented for a time-domain CT, comprised of a dipole antenna connected to an unterminated delay line. Multiple GPR measurements made from sep...
