Abstract :
In this paper dielectric filling is presented as a simple way of adapting ridged horn antenna for ground penetrating radar (GPR). The requirements for GPR antenna were described to justify the choice of dielectric ridged horn as a simple handheld device aimed to landmines finding. An attempt of detection of the buried metal plate is also shown.
