Summary :

This brief paper proposes a method for calibration of GPR pulse waveforms that is effective for identification of buried objects in the ground and/or in concrete structures. This approach is based on the inverse filtering operation that eliminates the influence of GPR antenna characteristics, and a response from a flat metal plate is employed as a reference data for calibration. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, it is applied to actual experimental data measured by the UWB-GPR antennas. The results show the validity of the method and importance of the waveform calibration for target identification.
