Abstract :
An adjustable canceller based on microwave interferometry is proposed for ground penetrating radar applications. This canceller, built up with a power divider and an impedance tuner, is integrated in a monostatic continuous wave (CW) radar in order to improve its measurement sensitivity. A set of measurements is performed and compared with standard CW radar measurements to demonstrate the performance of this technique.
