A Three-Dimensional Ray Tracing Simulation of a Synthetic Aperture Ground Penetrating Radar System

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a useful tool for imaging the area below the Earth's surface. GPR works on the same principle as traditional radar, evaluating the electromagnetic returns reflected from an object or scene of interest to determine characteristics of the object that reflected the signal. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a technique which combines radar returns of a given scene collected at several positions. By compiling the information contained in the returns, an image of a scene can be generated. Combining these two concepts allows us to create an image of an underground scene.Air Force Inst of Tech Wright-Patterson AFB OH is the author of 'A Three-Dimensional Ray Tracing Simulation of a Synthetic Aperture Ground Penetrating Radar System' with ISBN 9781423506904 and ISBN 1423506901.
