Abstract :
In this paper we propose an experimental case of the joint use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) and time domain reflectometry (TDR) for the estimation of the dielectric permittivity of soil. In particular, the well known method of the diffraction curves is compared with the results of an “auto-focussing” strategy based on a linear microwave tomographic approach and with a TDR measurement. The effect of the actual offset between the antennas is accounted for too.
