Abstract
This paper discusses the shielding and mutual coupling effect of ground penetrat- ing radar (GPR) antenna for buried object detection. In this study, bi-static radar system is considered. The antenna used in this system is designed at wide operational frequency, 0.5 GHz to 3.0 GHz. To observe the shielding effect and mutual coupling between antennas, two antennas with the same operating frequency are placed in an individual shielded box. The study is accom- plished using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. The antenna is designed using substrate Taconic TLY-5 with dielectric constant of 2.2 and thickness of 1.57 mm. The study and discussion includes the simulated results of radiation pattern, reflection coefficient and gain.
