Ground Penetrating Radar Operating Principle

The device refers to a class of single-pulse ground penetrating radars of subsurface probing (GPR) to a category of ultra wide-band technology (UWB) and is one of the instruments of probing the subsoil structure at a depth of several tens of meters in order to detect and identify the spatial boundaries of attitude of different kinds of subsurface non-homogeneities (objects, which have got different from the environment characteristics: dielectric constant and conductance, for example, of a humidity zone, soil softening zones, voids, embedment of more/less solid substance, etc.).

Ground penetrating radar operating principle is based on probing of physical medium with the electromagnetic impulses height of 1 (5-10 Pro version) kilovolt with a duration within the order of 2-8 nanoseconds and registration of height and time delay of return signals from the borders of the environment sectioning with different dielectric constant. GPR allows to probe the subsoil at a depth of 15 (30-50 Pro version) meters.

The probing signal induced by the antenna of GPR spreads under the surface of ground, dying out progressively as spreading, and, meeting the non-homogeneity, partially reflects in various directions, as well as in the direction of the receiving antenna. Level of incoming signals depends on the reflection coefficient of signals from a subsurface non-homogeneity. The reflection coefficient depends on how much the electrical parameters of non-homogeneities are different from the parameters of the environment. The more such difference is, the higher is the reflected signal. One piece of a signal goes further and reflects from another non-homogeneity and so on until the complete dying out of the signal.

EasyRad GPR can be packaged with different types of antennas to solve different tasks. The most simple in the low budget version are the dipole antennas.

As a radiating system for experts a specialized antenna is engineered (option, Pro version), which has a lower radiating level to the upper half-space and lowered lobed patterns along the ground surface.

The antenna is based on a magnetic slot antenna on the basis of open resonator system. Antenna directivity diagram of the GPR has a width not exceeding 25 degrees.

Use of such type of probing signal gave the opportunity with a relative ease to apply the methods which lead to a gain in the ration signal/ contaminating signal and in the long run to get considerably bigger depth of probing.
