Ground Penetrating Radar: Unveiling the Subsurface
Ground Penetrating Radar (G.P.R.) is a non-invasive geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. Operating on the principles of radar, it emits electromagnetic waves into the ground and records the reflected signals to create detailed images of subsurface structures. This technology is widely used in various fields including archaeology, environmental studies, utility detection and geological investigations. The working principle of G.P.R. involves a transmitter that sends high-frequency radio waves into the ground. When these waves encounter different materials or objects, they are reflected back to the surface and captured by a receiving antenna. The time it takes for the waves to return and the strength of the reflected signals provide information about the depth and composition of the subsurface features. It can detect a wide range of materials including rock, soil, ice, water and man-made structures like pipes and cables. One of the significant advantages of ...
