Effects of antenna-target polarization and target-medium dielectric contrast on GPR signal from non-metal pipes using FDTD simulation
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is widely used especially in subsurface pipes investigation and detection. The general practice is that the parallel antenna-target polarization is used for metal pipe GPR imaging and normal antenna-target polarization for non-metal pipe imaging. However, such practice does not always produce optimized results. The main reason is that the dielectric contrast in a non-metal pipes GPR imaging play an important roles in generating a good GPR signal. The research intends to highlight these issues by incorporating a finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation for several cases. The important observation is that antenna-target polarization as well as the dielectric contrast are two important criteria in determining a good GPR signal for non-metal pipes imaging.
