Summary:
In this paper a concept of adaptive GPR antenna for optimal transmission of multiple pulses is presented. A relatively simple antenna with such an adaptation capability is proposed and experimentally verified for transmitting monocycles of different durations. The proposed antenna is able to adapt to each of those pulses and gives maximal radiation in the broadside direction of the antenna. It would allow GPR operations in various applications to be carried out using one antenna system. Moreover, the antenna would be suitable for quasi-simultaneous transmission of multiple waveforms for improvement of GPR performance.
