Abstract :
In several applications, the demand for devices capable to reliably investigate the subsurface features of wide areas engenders an increasing interest in the development of airborne ground penetrating radar systems and of the relevant imaging strategies. With respect to this framework, in this communication we describe a tomographic inversion strategy to tackle the imaging problem in an airborne multimonostatic measurement configuration and give a preliminary assessment of the achievable reconstruction capabilities against synthetic data.
