Abstract
A stepped frequency ground penetrating radar (GPR) system is used for detecting objects buried under high permittivity soil. Different intermediate frequency bandwidth ( IFBW) of the mixing receiver is used and measurement results are compared. It is shown that the IFBW can affect the system's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Experimental results show that objects of different materials can clearly be detected when the appropriate IFBW is used.
