Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It is a non-destructive testing technique that can be used for various applications, including archaeology, environmental studies, geology, and civil engineering. Here are some key aspects of Ground Penetrating Radar:   1. Principle: ·          GPR works on the principle of sending electromagnetic pulses into the ground and recording the time it takes for the signals to bounce back after interacting with subsurface materials. ·          Different materials have different electrical properties, which affect the reflection and transmission of the radar signals. These properties allow GPR to distinguish between different subsurface layers.   2. Components:    Antenna/Transducer:                Emits and receives radar signals.          Control Unit:                  Manages the operation of the radar system.           Display Unit:                Shows the interp
