  • Abstract
    This paper reports the design of a new resonator system to enhance the identification of buried underground assets. Results from theoretical calculation, simulation, laboratory measurement, and field test are presented and practical considerations are highlighted. The proposed system has the potential to benefit future civil engineering installations.
