Abstract :
Electromagnetic (EM) scattering is effectively used in the detection of buried objects. However, the most challenging problem is represented by the discrimination of targets and clutters. The electromagnetic signature of known objects is often used to this purpose, but generally it is limited either to the r.m.s. value of the scattered field or to one component. In this work a technique based on the analysis of all the components of the EM field is presented and applied to the detection of landmines
