Abstract :
A novel impulse ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been developed and demonstrated for nondestructive evaluation of pavements. The GPR is completely fabricated using MICs. It has been used to measure the relative dielectric constants and thickness of various samples. Good agreement between the theoretical and measured results was achieved.
