[PS1-6] Ground penetrating RADAR (GPR)

Ground penetrating radar is a non-intrusive measurement technique that uses radio waves to probe the ground. It is used to analyze and locate targets buried in the sub-surface. It transmits low-power electromagnetic energy into the ground and receives weak signals from a low-loss dielectric or conductor material. It is principally used for archeology and geology. Typical penetration depths are between a few centimeters up to 4m.
