TECHNOLOGY: GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a method to explore nearsurface objects and structures. Electromagnetic impulses of high frequencies scan the subsoil. The signal is sent into the underground by aerials with a specified frequency. This signal is reflected and scattered by layer boundaries and other objects, respectively, and is again received at the surface.
   
The measuring results are displayed on site in a radargram. Special software reconstructs the exact location of structures and objects. Two-dimensional measurements at the surface are used to finally produce 3D figures of objects in the underground.
