Abstract :
A very large bandwidth and high dynamic range Continuous Wave Step Frequency (CWSF) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been developed with the aim to increase the detection capabilities with respect to current systems . In order to achieve this goal, an innovative electronic equipment have been designed and developed. This radar operates with ultra wide bandwidth, ultra fast scan and very high dynamic range capabilities.
