Abstract :
In this work, a multiple-GPR detection system has been simulated. The main advantage of such a system is that it saves time by detecting both the transverse and the longitudinal positions of the target by a B-scan measurement, whereas the same detection can be achieved by a C-scan with a single-GPR system. FDTD method is employed to perform the simulations, in which the ground is homogeneous and the target is perfectly conducting.
