Abstract
In recent years, GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) has developed rapidly and has played an important role in many fields. As a key part of GPR, the antenna directly affects system performance. A suitable antenna can greatly improve the detection results. To this end, this paper introduces the design of GPR tripod-shaped ultra-wideband antenna based on bow tie antenna. The working bandwidth of the antenna is widened by means of structural loading with truncation as the main part and circular slot at the end of the antenna. Antenna optimization and simulation were performed using ANSYS HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator), and the effects of antenna arm truncation length on antenna performance were discussed. Simulation results show that the designed antenna has an operation bandwidth of 700MHz ~ 2GHz and good directionality. It is a miniaturized ultra-wideband antenna suitable for shallow underground pipeline detection.
