Ground penetrating impulse radar for detection of small and shallow-buried objects

UWB Array-Based Radar for Landmine Detection

“…Based on our previous experience with GPR sensors for landmine detection [2,6,4] relatively high (60 to 80cm) above the ground while the receive antennas are placed 40 to 60cm beneath the transmit antenna ( Fig. 1).…”

“…To verify this approach the International Research Centre for Telecommunications-transmission and Radar (IRCTR) in the Delft University of Technology has developed a number of GPR systems dedicated to landmine detection [2][3][4]. These systems have demonstrated high potential of developed GPR technology for classification of surface-laid and buried targets.…”

<title>Full-polarimetric video impulse radar for landmine detection</title>

“…Having in mind the principal difference between common GPR and GPR specialized for landmine detection and using its previous expertise in the field of GPR systems (Yarovoy et a!., 1999;Yarovoy, van Genderen, Ligthart, 2000a), the International Research Centre for Telecommunicationstransmission and Radar (IRCTR) in the Delft University of Technology has developed two new GPR systems dedicated to landmine detection: a video impulse system and a stepped-frequency continuous wave system. In this paper the main guidelines of the video impulse system design are presented.…”
