Ground Penetrating RADAR (GPR)
"Antenna, pulse-width, center frequency and sampling:
Most of the GPR systems use dipole antennas, either in monostatic or bistatic arrangement (monostaticwhen the same antenna is use for transmission and reception, and bistatic when two separate antennas are used). The length of the dipole antenna controls the character of the transmitted pulse, mainly the pulse width (duration), dt, so that a broader pulse requires a longer antenna. In practice, an antenna length of 1 m is required for a 10 ns pulse - the efficient GPR transmission duration - while pulses of 1-2 ns widths require antennas of 0.15-0.40 m long."
