Abstract :
This paper shows first results of an m-sequence radar prototype used for ground penetrating radar. The radar operates in the baseband, covering a bandwidth of 750 MHz, limited only by the loaded bow-tie antennas used. Measurement results taken on a GPR test site with utility pipes buried at depths of up to 1.5m are shown to be comparable to results from a commercial pulsed GPR.
