3. Introduction
RADAR : Radio Detection and Ranging.
- Detect target in free space
- Determine the range
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method
that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface.
GPR is used for finding and detecting buried object.
GPR have a co-located transmitter and receiver.
Ground penetrating radar(GPR) is a short range pulse
system for remote sensing applications.
Monostatic GPR operates by transmitting
electromagnetic energy down into the ground through an
antenna .

7. Reflected Signal:
The amount of
reflected energy at an
interface is governed
by:
where ρ1,2 is the
reflection coefficient
and εr1 and εr2 are the
dielectric constants.

8. GPR Depth Determination:
The reflected signal
has information on:
◦ how quickly
the signal traveled
◦ how much was
attenuated
These quantities
depend on spatial
configuration and
materials.
The depth of a layer is given
by:
D = (5.9t)/sqrt.
of(Er)
D = depth of target (inch.)
t = wave travel time (nanosecond)
5.9 = a constant incorporating speed
of light and unit conversions
Er = dielectric constant of
subsurface material
9. Data Acquisition

MULTI TARGET DETECTION USING
RADAR
GPR uses high frequency radio waves and transmits
into the ground.
When the waves hits the buried object or a boundary
with different dielectric constants, the receiving antenna
records variations in the reflected return signal.
The depth range of GPR is limited by electrical
conductivity of the ground ,the transmitted frequency and
the radiated power.
As conductivity increases the penetration depth
decreases.
13. Data Model and Layer-Stripping
Inversion
In pavement, each layer of asphalt or concrete is basically
a mixture of particles embedded in an homogenous
matrix.
Since particle size is considered to be small if compared
to the waveform resolution of the GPR system, each
system can be model as a homogeneous medium with
effective complex dielectric permittivity values.
Layer-stripping inversion is used to estimate the
permittivity profile as well as the location in depth of
those interfaces estimated in time.

14. Detection/Tracking in pavement
profiling
Layer-stripping inversion with monostatic GPR is rather
complicated since the echo amplitude decreases with
time due to waveform attenuation.
Moreover ,the estimate of the echo amplitude is biased
due to propagation through random media.
Consequently, in pavement profiling, the SNR decreases
with depth.

15. Multiple-Interface D/T
In the presence of more than one interface, the
multimode and the D/T components tracks the echo
delay with the largest SNR.
In principle, this tracking ambiguity could be avoided by
processing subsequence of time samples.
In practice, errors are difficult to avoid when two
interfaces are close to each other (because of limits in
echo resolution), when one interface splits into two
interfaces, or even when two or more interfaces merge
into one.
