Abstract

In this paper, ground penetrating radar (GPR), which has the capability to detect non metal and plastic mines, is proposed to detect and discriminate antipersonnel (AP) landmines. The time domain GPR - Impulse radar and frequency domain GPR - SFCW (Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave) radar is utilized for metal and non-metal landmine detection and its performance is investigated. Since signal processing is vital for target reorganization and clutter rejection, we implemented the MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm for the signal processing of SFCW radar data and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) processing method for the signal processing of Impulse radar data.
