Abstract

Electromagnetic wave propagation, in an heterogeneous medium, is analysed using a method based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. This paper deals with the C-scan representation for ground penetrating radar (GPR). A GPR monostatic configuration will be presented as well as a multisensor antennas model. Moreover, performances and signal to noise ratios of these two models will be compared.
