Today, the technological evolvements have contributed to the development of Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) systems. GPR systems are used in a lot of fields such as; military field, civilian life and commercial activities. Besides, antenna design for the GPR system is so important. The designed GPR antennas should have lower than 1 GHz start frequency for more penetration and getting information about the object in the deeper layers of ground or any obstacle. Also, with wide band properties obtaining high resolution data would be available. In this paper, a Self-Complementary bow tie antenna is proposed. The start frequency of designed antenna is from 0.45 GHz and it works frequency independently. Simulation and fabrication results are presented for designed antenna.
