Abstract: A system and method for pseudo real time collection of receive signal data in a single- or multi-channel ground penetrating radar. Each channel transmits electromagnetic impulses into a medium under test during each of a plurality of runs over the medium. Run receive signals are received in response to the transmitted impulses. Each run receive signal is sampled multiple times at a run sample rate. The sample points of each run are delayed by delay sequences with respect to the sample points of the other runs. The sample points of the individual runs are stored as a composite set of sample points representative of a receive signal sampled at an effective sample rate equal to a multiple of the run sample rate where the multiple is the number of runs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating trigger signals in a ground penetrating radar. In one embodiment, sequence data is generated based on a desired triggering sequence for an array of antennas. The sequence may be generated based on position data from position devices and operational modes. According to one embodiment, as the sequence data is generated it is transferred to, and stored on, a dual port memory device through a first side of the dual port memory device. The sequence data can then be accessed independently through a second side of the dual port memory device. This data may be used by a logical network to produce antenna trigger signals as a logical combination of timing input signals and the sequence data.

Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with this invention identify a buried object using array-based ground penetrating radar having a control device, a plurality of transmit antennas, and a plurality of receive antennas. Such methods and systems receive a transmit timing input signal and a receive timing input signal. Such methods and systems comprise a first delay circuit for receiving the transmit timing input signal and generating a number of intermediate transmit timing signals delayed with respect to each other by a delay time, and transmit output switch circuit to select either the transmit timing input signal or a corresponding one of the intermediate transmit timing signals as a corresponding output transmit timing signal.
