Abstract
A principally new multi-waveform full-polarimetric front-end of a Ground Penetrating Radar has been developed. In comparison with commercially available video impulse GPR systems the key advantages of the front-end are considerably larger bandwidth, ability to measure the polarimetric structure of the scattered field and very high precision of scattered field measurements. A principally new antenna system design and an ability to perform quasi-simultaneous measurements in two different frequency bands with two transmit polarizations are main novelty aspects of the radar.
