Development of a Metalens for Radio Wave Ground-Penetrating Radars
Source abstract
Abstract
This article discusses the possibility of using a metamaterial to focus radiation from an antenna for GPR. Composite ring conductors were used as a material for focusing radiation at frequencies of 0.5–3 GHz. The modeling of the matrix structure is presented, and the electric component of the field is considered when using a four-layer structure with a thickness of about 5 cm. Experimental studies of the focusing properties of the metamaterial and the possibility of its use in ground-penetrating radar are presented. Using the developed system, an object was detected at different depths, and the superiority of the metamaterial in relation to the use of a focusing system based on a parabolic mirror is shown.
