GPR investigation on buried rocks in Martian subsoil for “WISDOM” project: Numerical and measurement set-up results

摘要

In this work, the detection of buried rocks using a GPR system on a rover for Martian missions is investigated with both an experimental set-up and numerical simulations. The experimental set-up is made of a box filled with a host medium and buried basalts of different shapes and sizes. The numerical simulations, performed with a commercial software, are compared and validated with the measurement results, allowing for a greater flexibility of the analyzed environment and of the measurements devices.
