Abstract :
This paper proposes a novel GPR system based on the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique. The selection of the major system parameters for the OFDM based GPR are considered. An example system configuration is simulated. Target positions can be determined with high accuracy, even when in the presence of noise. Finally, the potential benefits of using OFDM for GPR are presented.
