Abstract

A method of calibration for GPR responses is introduced in order to extract a target response from GPR data. This calibration procedure eliminates undesirable waveform distortion that is caused by antenna characteristics and multiple scattering effects between the antennas and the ground surface. An application result to measured GPR data shows that undesirable late-time responses caused by the antenna characteristics and multiple scattering effects are removed, and that the target response is clearly reconstructed. This result demonstrates that the waveform calibration of GPR data is significant and essential for reliable target identification.
