Abstract

The paper presents current results of our ground penetrating radar system design proposed for military application. It is focused especially on antennas, but includes the properties of ultrawideband generator. Several tapered slot antenna structures are presented and some of them have been fabricated. Some modifications of double ridge horn antenna are presented and their parameters are compared and discussed.
