• Abstract:
  In this project, the prototyped air-coupled and ground-coupled ground penetrating radar (GPR) devices, that were developed by the Project 0-4820, have been upgraded. Special antenna shielding structures have been developed to guide the electromagnetic energy down into ground to prevent the GPR devices from radiating into the air. After repeating the "testing-and-modifying" process on the GPR devices several times, both the air-coupled and ground-coupled GPR devices are now completely compliant with FCC requirements. The FCC testing reports by Nemko Inc. are included in the appendix part of this report. The testing reports and other documents for FCC certificate applications have been submitted to FCC and the GPR certificates are expected in a few weeks.
