## Abstract The spatial variability of soil water content can be measured with the ground wave velocity of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) using short antenna offsets, but picking the correct ground wave arrival time is rather difficult. In applying the GPR ground wave method to soil water content e

Abstract
The plane‐wave transmitting spectrum (PWTS) of a ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) loop antenna close to the air–soil interface is measured by means of a probe buried in soil. Probe correction is implemented based upon knowledge about the complex permittivity of the soil and the current distribution of the probe. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A compact ultra‐wideband ground‐penetrating radar (UWB GPR) using an impulse waveform is developed. A proper impulse generator is designed and then a novel compact UWB monopole antenna is developed for transmitting the impulse and receiving the reflected signals. For visualization of bu
