  • Abstract
    A bench-top prototype GPR using Golay codes has been designed and implemented. The preliminary experimental results show a reasonable good improvement in terms of SNR. This work is still in progress. Improvements related to some of the other components and subsystems are underway. In particular, we are experimenting with innovative antenna designs having minimum influence on the transmitted waveform, and improved image processing algorithms.
