Abstract :
The detection of land mines using an air borne radar is investigated. The relation between the height of the radar and the separation distance between regular linear distributed mines is obtained. Bistatic and monostatic radars are employed with different operating frequencies to detect the number of mines and their locations. An E-plane or H-plane horn antenna can be used during the simulation.
