CIVIL INVESTIGATION AND UXO DETECTION WITH GPR

Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) is an electromagnetic (EM)geophysical method for high resolution detection, imaging and mapping of subsurface soils and rock conditions. The idea of using the propagation of high frequency EM wave for subsurface can be traced back to beginning of the century. In the addition to its numerous military and civil applications, radar is now very important tool in ground investigation, normally from the near surface to depth of several tens of meters.During more than two decades of development, GPR system have became the geophysical tools that provide the subsurface window for a variety of geological, engineering, environmental and archeological applications.

The most common operation mode of GPR is the reflection mode, whereby traces of returned waves are collected either continously or in stations along a line, thus creating a time cross section or profile image of the subsurface.

GPR data are displayed on printer paper or on a computer screen during acquisition(i.e., during real time). For a given transect the data consist of a cross-section of signal amplitudes(intenities) versus location(along the two-way time axis and the horizontal axis).

Before survey in the field commenced, antenna calibrations were carried out at "place calibration". The purpose of calibration is to get the best parameters base on local gelogical setting and condition.

figure 6 Result of magnetic/metal good anomaly(Cal 1) in time domain

Result of spectrum analysis is colours value for each model characteristics, in Antam calibration the model (magnetic/metal model) it have value 9000-11500 (colors range in histogram) . These values will be reference of magnetic or metal model in the field
figure 7 Result of magneti/metal good anomaly(Cal1) in frequency domain

As usually, anomaly in the field are clear to definite if hyperbole shape of  metallic/magnetic goods found as a respond. Processing in base camp did for further analysis.
Field processing, was doing until time domain processing. If in data section (time domain) the hyperbole anomaly were not found, the area was declared clear. If there is a hyperbole anomaly (on time domain data section), further analyze was done using frequency analysis.
The result of frequency analysis is determined with color bar, and then we compare with data calibration and at field calibration to get the value correlation between data in the field and its calibration.

Spectrum analysis or frequency analysis is frequency method to identify of value of each rock or magnetic, compactness, etc which can be approach with value(color) percentage of amplitude. From time domain data will be transformed to frequency domain, with approximate anomaly on time domain we will be see the anomaly on frequency domain value of each rocks, magnetic anomaly or others anomaly.

Penentuan range nilai suatu benda atau objek bisa di tentukan lebih presisi dengan membandingkan dengan data kalibrasi di daerah tersebut.
