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: The present invention concerns an apparatus for collecting ground radar data with polarization information comprising a main body exhibiting structure for moving the apparatus along the ground, a part that rotates in relation to the main body supporting a pair of antennas of transmitter and receiver type, a power source with connected control unit for controlling and governing the ground radar, a transmitter unit electrically connected to one of the pair of antennas for generating and transmitting radar pulses and a sampler unit electrically connected to the other antenna for receiving the reflected radar pulses.
