Development of A Stepped Frequency GPR Prototype

Abstract

Ground penetrating radar systems and through the wall radars are important research areas which are frequently studied on due to their civilian and military applications. Development of penetrating radar systems using microwave frequencies is primary in that point. In this work, a stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) GPR prototype is developed. The system is working between 700MHz-6GHz frequency range and is controlled through user interface. The measured data and the detection results are shown through the same user interface in real time. The system can be used either for through the wall or subsurface applications. Initial experimental data results are shown.
