Ultra-wide band (UWB) ground penetrating radar (GPR)

Useful definitions to understand what follows have to be given first. A A-scan is a one-dimensional signal taken perpendicularly to the ground surface and is the basic echo signal produced by a GPR. A B-scan is a two-dimensional signal resulting from a collection of adjacent A-scan along a straight line horizontal to the ground surface. A C-scan is a two-dimensional horizontal slice (parallel to the ground surface) in a set of adjacent B-scans.
