A study on the anntenna design for subsurface cw radar above the earth surface

지표면에서 연속 전자파를 사용하는 지하 탐사용 안테나 설계에 관한 연구

In this paper, we present an antenna which can be used for subsurface continuous wave electromagnetic probing. Its input impedance and transmission coefficient of the two port scattering parameters, S$_{21}$, are calculated numerically and the numerical results are compared with measured values from laboratory scale-down experiment. Scale-down experiemtn results using this antenna show that we can detect a metallic pipe, which has 0.8 cm in diameter and buried at a depth of 5.7cm in saline solution, in frequency range from 200 MHz to 1000 MHz.
