Summary

• This book is the first comprehensive treatment of radar for penetrating the surface of the ground or manmade structures. The technique of surface-penetrating radar is becoming increasingly recognised as a means of non-destructively examining archaeological sites, buildings, roads, bridges, utility structures etc. It is also used for forensic investigations, the detection of buried mines and has even been used for planetary exploration.
• The book presents the principles and applications of the technique with emphasis on a designer's practical approach to its use. The general topics covered include the different types of radar, propagation through various materials and methods of signal processing. One chapter consists of a collection of contributions from leading experts in particular fields and provides an insight into the wide variety of applications for surface-penetrating radar.
• The final chapter provides a description, supplied by the manufacturers, of current commercially available radar systems. The aim of the book is to provide an introduction to the subject at graduate level for practising engineers and scientists as well as providing a useful reference to current research.
