Abstract :
This paper shows that the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation method can be used to simulate the electromagnetic performance of mine detection whether they are of metal or dielectric compositions. This is done using proposed two microstrip patch array antennas scaled at UHF frequencies
