摘要：

Most of the landmine detection techniques by GPR use a monostatic type radar system, which is suitable for detecting land mines buried in shallow soil, which is normally less than 10cm. The shallow target is difficult to detect by conventional GPR due to its low range resolution. We developed a broadband Vivaldi type antenna, which operates at 1GHz-10GHz. Using this antenna, we made a prototype of a GPR system, which operates at 2GHz-5GHz. By scanning the antenna on a 2D plane, we could obtain clear 3-D images of mine-like targets buried in dry sand. We proposed an array signal processing technique using CMP method, and found it is effective for rejection of the ground surface clutter, even if the ground surface has roughness.
