Abstract :
Radar and dc pulses of Gaussian shape are reflected from dry, damp, and wet earth for both vertical and horizontal polarization. The envelope of the radar pulse is retrieved following reflection and examined for distortion. The shape of the reflected dc pulse is also determined. Pulse distortion resulting from multiple reflections is easily formulated by constructing a composite transfer function consisting of the product of reflection coefficients and retardation factors.
