Abstract

A decoupled, wide-band, perfectly magnetically conductor(PMC)-backed air waveguide antenna is designed and constructed for the use of the continuous electromagnetic wave ground penetrating radar in the frequency range from 200MHz to 600MHz. Two planar dipoles are located inside air slab covered by PMC on the top side and separated by an air gap from the bottom ground interface. The coupling between the transmitting and the receiving dipoles is calculated by less than -60dB over the frequency from 200MHz to 600MHz.
