by admin in Blog
GPR operates by sending short pulses of electromagnetic radiation (in the approximate frequency range for an FM radio) into a material and recording the strength and the time required for the return of the reflected signal. Reflections are produced whenever the energy pulse encounters a material with different dielectric (electrical) properties. Reflecting interfaces may be […]
