Description
Summary:The frequency range employed in ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems is generally limited to 2 GHz because media loss increases dramatically at higher frequencies. Nevertheless, a series of applications exists in the Cultural Heritage field where the development of high frequency systems would significantly benefit, in terms of resolution, from an increased operating band. This article presents ULTRA, a wideband GPR (800 MHz-4000 MHz) system, using a CW-SF technique developed for this type of surveying
