Description
Summary:This article discusses the methods and results of assessing the angular resolution and sounding depth of enhanced-power ground penetration radars obtained during archaeological and geographical expeditionary works in various natural areas. Elongated local objects were used as test objects to evaluate the horizontal radiation pattern of the Loza–V georadar in the upper- and lower-half spaces. The depth of operation of the Loza–N low-frequency radar was estimated during a geophysical study of a unique natural object in the Siberian taiga. The variability of the GPR antenna radiation patterns in different materials (air, dry, or wet soils) confirms the necessity of quantitative measurements with controlled electrophysical parameters.
