Abstract
Ground probing radar (GPR) is a fast and inexpensive method for probing in shallow depths of the earth. Since the weathering lone in some desert regions such the Sahara is relatively shallow, this paper proposes the application of GPR for its mapping for the sake of static correction. The radar survey results could be applied for interpolation between upholes and perhaps for the selection of optimal distances between the upholes. This paper presents simulated results of a new radar design that works on the principle of step frequency.
