A receiving GPR antenna converts energy contained inEM waves into voltages, which are regarded as GPR data.3.1.3.2 attenuation(1) the loss of EM wave energy due toconduction currents associated wit

26、refer tothe loss in EM wave energy from all possible sources,including conduction currents, dielectric relaxation, scattering,and geometrical spreading.3.1.3.3 bandwidthThe operating frequency range of anantenna that conforms to a specified standard (Balanis (28).For GPR antennas, typically the band

27、width is defined by theupper and lower frequencies radiated from a transmitting GPRantenna that possess power that is 3 dB below the peak powerradiated from the antenna at its resonant frequency. Sometimesthe ratio of the upper and lower 3-dB frequencies is used todescribe an antennas bandwidth. For

28、 example, if the upper andlower 3-dB frequencies of an antenna are 600 and 200 MHz,respectively, the bandwidth of the antenna is said to be 3:1. InGPR system design, the ratio of the difference between theupper frequency minus the lower frequency to the centerfrequency is commonly used. In the prece

29、ding case, one wouldhave a ratio of 400:400 or 1:1.3.1.3.4 bistaticthe survey method that utilizes antennas.One antenna radiates the EM waves and the other antennareceives the reflected waves.3.1.3.5 conductivitythe ability of a material to support anelectrical current (material property that descri

Theunits of conductivity are Siemens/metre (S/m).3.1.3.6 control unit (C/U)An electronic instrument thatcontrols GPR data collection. The control unit may alsoprocess, display, and store the GPR data.3.1.3.7 couplingthe coup

31、ling of a ground penetratingradar antenna to the ground describes the ability of the antennato get electromagnetic energy into the ground. A poorlycoupled antenna is described as being mismatched. A well-coupled antenna has an impedance equal to the impedance ofthe ground.3.1.3.8 depth of penetratio

32、nthe maximum depth range aradar signal can penetrate in a given medium, be scattered byan electrical inhomogeneity, propagate back to the surface, berecorded by a receiver GPR antenna, and yield a voltagegreater than the noise levels of the GPR unit.(1) In a conductive material (seawater, metallic m

33、aterials, ormineralogic clay soils), attenuation can be great, and the wavemay penetrate only a short distance (less than 1 m). In aresistive material (fresh water, granite, ice, or quartz sand), thedepth of penetration can be tens to thousands of metres.3.1.3.9 dielectric permittivitydielectric per

34、mittivity is theproperty that describes the ability of a material to store electricenergy by separating opposite polarity charges in space. Itrelates ability of a material to be polarized in the electricdisplacement, D, in response to the application of an electricfield, E, through D=e E. The units

35、of dielectric permittivity, e,are farads/metre (F/m). Relative dielectric permittivity (previ-ously called the dielectric constant) is the ratio of the permit-tivity of a material to that of free space, 8.854 3 1012F/m.Whenever the dielectric permittivity is greater than that of freespace, it must b

Nearly all dielectric relax-ation processes are the result of the presence of water or clayminerals (Olhoeft (29).3For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM webs

38、inary part of thecomplex permittivity). The term is derived from the empiricalrelationship developed by describing the frequency-dependentbehavior of dielectrics. The classical Debye formulation con-tains a term referred to as the relaxation time.3.1.3.11 diffusionthe process by which the applicatio

39、n ofan external force (stimulus) results in a flux or movement ofsomething (response). In electromagnetics, diffusion describesthe movement of charges in response to an applied electric fieldor in response to an applied time-varying magnetic field.Diffusion is the low-frequency, high-loss, limiting

There aremultiple Fresnel zones that form annu

42、lar rings around the firstFresnel zone (Sheriff (26).3.1.3.14 loss tangentThere are three loss tangents: elec-tric, magnetic, and electromagnetic. Each loss tangent is theratio of the imaginary to the real parts or the lossy to thestorage parts of the response to the stimulus in the force-fluxstimul

43、us-response equations. The electrical loss tangent is theratio of the imaginary to the real part of the dielectricpermittivity plus the electrical conductivity divided by radianfrequency times the real part of the permittivity. It representsthe cotangent of the phase between E and J (electric andcur

44、rent density). The magnetic loss tangent is the ratio of theimaginary to the real part of the complex magnetic permeabil-ity. It represents the cotangent of the phase angle between Hand B (magnetic field and magnetic induction). The electro-magnetic loss tangent is the ratio of the real to the imagi

45、naryparts of the complex propagation constant, and it represents thecotangent of the phase angle between E and H.3.1.3.15 magnetic permeability ()the property that de-scribes the ability of a material to store magnetic energy byrealignment of electron spin and motion. It relates ability of amaterial

46、 to be magnetized (magnetic polarization) in themagnetic induction, B, in response to the application of amagnetic field H, through B=H. The units of magneticpermeability, , are Henry/metre. Relative magnetic permeabil-ity is the ratio of the permeability of a material to that of freespace, 4p3107H/

47、m. It is commonly assumed that magneticproperties are those of free space. Whenever the magneticpermeability is greater than that of free space, it must becomplex and lossy, with frequency dependence typically de-scribed by the Cole-Cole (Cole and Cole (28) relaxationmodel. Nearly all magnetic prope

In some of the literature, magnetic susceptibility is usedwith a variety of units and normalizations (Hunt et al (30).3.1.3.16 megahertz (MHz)a unit of frequency.
