Application of some seismic data processing methods to ground penetrating radar data

Digitally recorded ground penetrating radar (GPR) data resembles reflection seismic data. Both GPR and the reflection seismic method rely on an impulse-type wave signal, whose length in wavelengths varies with the source. Wave packets are sent into the ground by radio-frequency antennas in the case of GPR and by acoustic sources in the case of reflection seismics. The waves are propagated, attenuated and reflected within the studied material.
