Antenna Array With Increased Directivity for Ground Penetrating RADAR Applications
Abstract
This project aims to develop a new antenna array for use in Ground Penetrating RADAR (GPR) systems with particular focus on GPR integration with Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). The antenna array will be very lightweight, efficient, and with high directivity to assure distinct subsurface images. For this project, a linear array is proposed that provides dynamically adjustable power to each antenna element. The radiating elements will be optimized for the applicable frequency band and will be configured to provide maximum radiated power propagating into the ground. Additionally, integration efforts will take place toprovide effective utility of unmanned systems to minimize risk to the warfighter.
