Applications of Subsurface Radar for Mine Detection

Abstract

The principles of a bistatic, forward-looking system for location and identification of isolated, shallow sub surface objects are described. Experimental data obtained using such a system at L (1.55 MHz and 3.5 MHz) is described, and the results of signal/image processing based on simple, approximate models are presented. The results indicate modest success in isolating target signatures under ideal testbed conditions, and indicate the need for improved modeling.
