Abstract

Most commercially available ground probing radars operate in the time domain while the design of a proportion of such radars is based on frequency modulation techniques. This paper briefly considers the two approaches and some of the aspects that define their respective performance. The paper includes a selection of applications to illustrate current capability: detection of explosive mines, detection of the victims of avalanches and archaeological artefacts
