Waveform enhancements using earth-penetrating radiators/receivers for deep ground penetrating radar

摘要

A new concept is proposed in this paper to use subsurface radiators, delivered as earth penetrating non-explosive, electronic “e-bombs”, as the source of strong radiated transmissions for GPR experiments using ground contact or airborne receivers. Alternately, by reciprocity, the receiver could be buried in close proximity to a suspected target using ground contact or airborne transmitters. The ultimate goal of this project is a stand-off capability using satellite communication links. The received signal could also be relayed to a surface repeater by deploying a fiber-optics cable during earth penetration.
