Abstract :
This paper shows that the characterisation of layered earth with a stand-off Ground Penetrating Radar is an ill-posed problem, due to the number of unknowns associated with each layer. A technique is presented which partially circumvents this issue and thus allows for the measurement of the permittivity and thicknesses of the first two layers as well as the conductivity of the first layer.
