How does Ground Radar work?

The internal characterisation of a medium is achieved when an antenna transmits a radiowave through a medium. This radiowave travels through the medium and is reflected back as the composition of the medium alters; this may due to a pipe, cable or a change in medium density. A receiving antenna detects this reflected radiowave. When the receiving antenna detects a radiowave, it is sent to the GPR system’s control unit. The control unit digitises the radiowaves in real-time and displays them on a screen.

This real-time image allows for a preliminary on-site interpretation and the potential of a detailed, spatially specific GPR investigation.
