Successful application of ground‐penetrating radar in the exploration of gem tourmaline pegmatites of southern California

Abstract: Application of ground‐penetrating radar has been successful in delineating gem‐bearing zones in the Himalaya pegmatite mine of the Mesa Grande district of southern California. The high frequency of the electromagnetic signal allows features as small as a few centimetres to be resolved within 1–2 m of the surface of a mine wall. Careful initial set‐up consisted of: (i) selection of antennae with sufficiently high central frequencies; (ii) recording with a short time of scan to reduce end‐of‐scan noise levels; (… Show more

“…However, GPR signals can be easily corrupted by environmental noise [19]. In order to overcome this shortcoming and enhance GPR profile features, several signal processing approaches have been reported in [97,98]. Zoubir et al [99] proposed a Kalman filter for detection of landmines using impulse ground penetration radar.…”

“…74 GPR is a high-resolution non-invasive device used to identify variations in soils’ magnetic and electric characteristics in a pipeline around the wave transmission system and dispersal technologies. 75 In 1960, Maas suggested detecting subsurface objects using radar . 76 Moffatt and Puskar 77 proposed a technique for improving radar object detection to investigate artificial things to discover surface object reflection levels.…”
