Microwave Interferometric System for GPR Positioning

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems are sensors that are able to acquire underground images by scanning the surface of the soil/pavement under investigation. Usually, a GPR system records its own position along the scan line, using a mechanical odometer, i.e., a rolling wheel in contact with the...

description Ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems are sensors that are able to acquire underground images by scanning the surface of the soil/pavement under investigation. Usually, a GPR system records its own position along the scan line, using a mechanical odometer, i.e., a rolling wheel in contact with the ground. This simple and cheap solution can be ineffective on uneven terrains. In this paper, a positioning system based on an interferometric radar is presented. This kind of radar is able to detect small displacements of the targets in its field of view. Such a capability was used to track the GPR position along a line. The system was validated with simulations and tested in a realistic experimental scenario.
