Abstract
We study the impedance parameters and the energy transmitted and received by a couple of antennas working in a nonhomogeneous background. The focus is on stepped frequency ground penetrating radar (SF-GPR) prospecting. In particular, we propose a reconfiguration of the GPR system versus the frequency that accounts for the background scenario, and we show that the reconfiguration can improve the frequency behavior of the antennas significantly. Tests performed on two bow-tie antennas will be shown.
