Abstract
A proposed sensor for landmines detection consists of two parallel microstrip antennas placed on same ground plane with shorting pins between the patch and the ground plane has been investigated. The microstrip patch array with shorting pins has the advantage of a low coupling and size reduction compared with classic arrays. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is used to simulate the senor for landmines detection.
