Abstract :
This paper deals with a reconstruction algorithm for microwave tomography of buried mines. This technique can use a synthetic pulse (multifrequency or swept frequency mode) as well as a real pulse (impulse mode) transmitted through a broadband antenna in a reflecting mode configuration. The backscattered electric field generated by the buried mines is measured at various locations with a ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique
