Abstract :
A standoff landmine detection system, rail-GPSAR, was built for the purposes to evaluate feasibility and effectiveness of landmine detection using UWB SAR. The system architecture of rail-GPSAR is introduced firstly, and then some new approaches to RFI/coupling suppression; near-field SAR imaging and detection of the buried landmines are proposed. Finally the detection performance of rail-GPSAR is validated by a series of field experiments
