“…With regard to this aspect, a number of experiments are reported, focused on hardware of GPR systems (Daniels, 1996;Stickley et al, 1999;Alberti et al, 2000) or possible kinds of processing of GPR data (Kooij et al, 1996;Bucci et al, 2000;Pierri et al, 2000;Wright et al, 2000). There are, moreover, many papers focused mostly on the results of experimental campaigns performed (Colla et al, 1995;Ferrucho da Rocha et al, 2000;Meglich, 2000). In this paper, we focused on the aspect of the hardware of a GPR system developed by the Consortium for Research on Advanced Remote Sensing Systems (CO.RI.S.T.A.).…”

In the framework of ARCHEO, a national research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Universities and Scientific and Technological Research (MURST), a new Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been developed by the Italian Consortium for Research on Advanced Remote Sensing Systems (CO.RI.S.T.A.). The system has been specially designed to satisfy archaeological requirements and it will be used to identify and characterise buried objects. The system is a stepped frequency GPR. It can work within a wide band of frequencies both in gated and ungated mode, and it has been already widely described in Alberti et al. (2000). This paper describes the results of calibration tests in ungated mode performed in the CO.RI.S.T.A. laboratory. In particular, it is shown that the system can guarantee a dynamic range of about 96 dB.
