  • Abstract
    It will be investigated whether the resolution of ground penetrating radar (GPR) can be improved using a dielectric lens for focusing the transmitted waves. For the design of the entire GPR system a 3D field simulation will be used. The theoretical results will be compared with measurement results of a real GPR system which has been set up according to the design considerations which are presented in this contribution.
