Results from a forward-looking GPR mine detection system

摘要

In this paper, we report on the high-resolution ground-pentrating radar system designed, built, and depoed by SRI under contract to the U.S.Army Hight Vision and Electronic Sensors Directotate at Forst Belovir. This fully polarimetric, 300 to 3000 MHz stepped frequency radar is configured to act as a forward-looking synthetic aperture system with resolution (on the ground surface) approaching 5 cm. This test bed is being used in a program to define the optimal radar parameters and supporting image processing needed for the efficient standoff detection of buried and surface-laid antitank mines.
