The performance of a planar elliptical dipole textile antenna for the multi-sensor (impulse GPR&EMI) subsurface detection system is investigated. This is a new application of textile antenna. The textile material of antenna does not create an EMI clutter comparing solid Cu material. The antenna characteristics of the proposed antenna in the multi-sensor head are measured and compared with the simulated ones. A buried target into soil, is successfully detected by the multi-sensor system with the usage of the textile antenna in the GPR sensor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
