Overview
"This fully revised and expanded edition of David Daniels' text, Surface-Penetrating Radar (IEE 1996) presents, for the non-specialist user or engineer, all the key elements of this technique, which span several disciplines including electromagnetics, geophysics and signal processing. The book enables the user to assess the potential of the technique and apply it effectively with current technology." The new edition is a greatly expanded treatment of a radar technique which penetrates the surface of the ground or man-made structures and contains many additional contributions by leading experts in the field. Ground penetrating radar is increasingly used to examine archaeological sites, engineering structures (e.g. bridges, roads) etc, and has come to some prominence in forensic investigations. GPR is also used for the detection of landmines. The book presents the principles with an emphasis on practical applications and also includes a CD with many examples of GPR data and processing techniques as Mathcad worksheets.Synopsis
In this revised and expanded edition of his book Surface-Penetrating Radar (IEE, 1996), Daniels, a consultant on sensors, presents key elements of ground penetrating radar (GPR) techniques for non- specialist users and engineers, incorporating information from the disciplines of electromagnetics, geophysics, and signal processing. The book will enable users to assess the potential of the technique and apply it effectively with current technology. An accompanying CD- ROM contains examples of GPR data and processing techniques as MathCAD worksheets. The book is distributed in the US by Books International.
