A test site for quantification of GPR responses

Expansion of the use of GPR in many areas and improved instrumentation is leading to the need for GPR data with amplitude fidelity. To be more quantitative, the factors which control amplitude must be thoroughly understood. To this end, a controlled test site has been established to address some of these problems. Targets of simple geometry were buried in a uniform natural host material. Procedures for monitoring site electrical properties have been devised and tested. In the following paper we discuss the test site development and present initial experimental results.
