Abstract

We propose a new microwave system dedicated to near sub-surface imaging. The originality lies in the use of a single frequency and a multistatic configuration. We also pre-process the measured fields with an efficient method which takes profit of the spectral bandwidth properties of the scattered field allowing the removal of the residual interface contribution. First results in a controlled environment are presented.
