Abstract

A novel wideband VHF antenna for the impulse ground penetrating radar (GPR) system at 200 MHz central frequency is presented in this article. The antenna improves the impulse GPR system for increasing ability penetration. By using the Lemniscate curve, this novel structure of the proposed antenna achieve better radiation than other bow-tie antennas. In addition, this article also proposes the UWB balanced-to-balanced (balun) transformation line is designed to feed the antenna. The balun is an important element for improving the bandwidth of the antenna. The fabrication of the antenna is only simple but also low cost with FR4 substrate and copper patch. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated with the successful results.
