Abstract

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is categorized based on the number of antenna and modulation technique used for buried object detection. GPR systems that were often studied are the GPR of amplitude modulation and GPR of frequency modulation. Based on these two types of GPR system, the GPR of frequency modulation which is known as Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) is easy to be developed using only antenna and vector network analyzer (VNA). This study combined the Pulse modulation and SFCW GPR to form the GPR Hybrid. The combination was made in order to develop Pulse modulation GPR system of amplitude modulation GPR type using VNA. Discussion on this developed Hybrid GPR using the CST studio Suite 2014 software, included the design of a GPR antenna called the Vivaldi antenna of patch types, the design on simulation system of GPR Hybrid system, and the implementation of GPR Hybrid system using vector network analyzer. After the validation process, the developed GPR Hybrid system equipment was able to successfully detect a metal object that was buried in a wooden chamber containing dry sand.
