Abstract
Evaluation of the effectiveness of GPR method in soils with different physical properties
The work is focuses on the determination of the attenuation factor of electromagnetic radiation when applied in soils with different physical properties as a criterion for assessing the depth of Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) method. The measurements were performed using a tunable coaxial resonator which frequency range coincides with one normally used in the practice of GPR. The attenuation factor of a sample of soil placed in a cavity is determined by the shift and width of the resonance line. Advantage of this method is the preservation of soil structure during the measurement.
Keywords: ground-penetrating radar, properties of soils, attenuation factor.
