摘要
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is valuable for the detection of subsurface objects with little or no metal content, such as plastics, ceramics, and concrete piping. However, the effects of antenna configuration parameters, such as height and angle, are not well studied for all sensing applications. GPR simulations and laboratory GPR experiments are performed to evaluate the effects of antenna angle and height on the sensitivity of bistatic air-launched GPR, to search for buried nonmetallic objects. The results presented provide guidance for the development of air-launched GPR systems installed on unmanned aerial vehicles for in-flight subsurface scanning of buried targets.
