Abstract :
This paper is concerned with the detection of underground objects, especially mines. They threaten civil life in many countries and are a serious problem for innocent people far from the hot-war. This work considers objects in the size range of 5-30 cm diameter, and the frequency band is selected to determine this size of mine. We investigate the antenna system and synthesis of the field pattern required.
