Abstract
© 2005 IEEE.In this paper, development of an improved antenna for short-range ground penetrating radar (GPR) applications s discussed. the antenna improvement is obtained in the form of increased radiation efficiency and reduced dimension. In addition, an improved metallic shield has been designed not only for protection against EMI and antenna coupling, but also for strengthening radiation into the ground.
