Abstract :
The video impulse system ground penetrating radar system for detection of small and shallow buried objects has been developed. The hardware combines commercially available components with components (e.g. antennas) specially developed or modified for being used in the system. Antenna system has been designed so that it provides sufficient spatial resolution and power budget together with small coupling and ringing. The GPR has been tested in different environmental conditions and has proved its ability to detect small and shallow buried targets
