Abstract :
A time-domain microwave imaging radar system for nondestructive evaluation purposes has recently been developed at the University of Illinois. This system will be used for rapid nondestructive evaluation and quality control of civil structures. This paper describes both the radar system development and the inverse scattering algorithm used for imaging shallow buried objects in a concrete slab
