Performance of Antenna Using Linear Resistive Loading for Ground Penetrating Radar

Preparation of land is always required to build infrastructure. One method to measure the land condition can be used with ground penetrating radar (GPR). An antenna using linear resistive loading was proposed as a sensor for transmitting and receiving microwave signals. The antenna is required with large bandwidth and operated with two pulses in time domains with 0.8 and 1.6 nm cycles. The proposed antenna is performed for GPR application. The experimental results are reported and discussed in this paper for identifying an object under the earth.
