摘要：
Sub-terahertz ground-penetrating radar systems offer an alternative to radio wave-based systems in the airborne imaging of buried objects. Laboratory prototype systems operating in W-band (75-110 GHz) and F-band (90-140 GHz) are presented, detecting the distance between target and source and imaging metal objects buried in mixed soil. The experimental results show that imaging in the 100-150 GHz frequency range is feasible for underground applications but significantly restricted by the attenuation characteristics of the medium covering the targets. A higher power source and more sensitive receiving components are essential to increase the penetration capability and expand the application settings of this approach.
