The effect of the height of the GPR antennas on the diffraction curve

Abstract

This paper deals with the “mathematical description'” of the shape of the GPR diffraction curve in dependence of the distance of the measurement line from to the air/soil interface. In this relevant case., the diffraction curve relative to point-like target is mathematically expressed in a closed form by means of the solution of a fourth degree algebraic equation and this simplifies the analysis of the different measurement factors.
