Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this paper, wideband ground penetrating radar (GPR) system and a proposed
frequency domain data analysis technique are presented for the detection of shallow
buried objects such as anti-personal (AP) land mines. The GPR system uses one
antenna for transmitting and for receiving and. it operates from 9 GHz to11 GHz.
This system is able to acquire, save and analyze the data in the frequency domain.
Common Offset technique has been used for acquiring and processing the data.
This technique is effective for the rejection of the ground surface clutter. By applying
the C-scan scheme, metallic and plastic mines-like targets buried in dry soil will be
located.
