Abstract:Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of transportation infrastructure using ground penetrating radar (GPR) is an active research subject in now days. Impulse radar is one common GPR design scheme for its simple circuit architecture. However its weaknesses include low dynamic range and high cost complicate analog-to-digital converter (ADC) requirement. Stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) radar overcomes these obstacles by transmitting/receiving individual frequency tones sequentially, however with a low operat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
