Development of a Metalens for Radio Wave Ground-Penetrating Radars

This article discusses the possibility of using a metamaterial to focus radiation from an antenna for GPR. Composite ring conductors were used as a material for focusing radiation at frequencies of 0.5–3 GHz. The modeling of the matrix structure is presented, and the electric component of the field...

description This article discusses the possibility of using a metamaterial to focus radiation from an antenna for GPR. Composite ring conductors were used as a material for focusing radiation at frequencies of 0.5–3 GHz. The modeling of the matrix structure is presented, and the electric component of the field is considered when using a four-layer structure with a thickness of about 5 cm. Experimental studies of the focusing properties of the metamaterial and the possibility of its use in ground-penetrating radar are presented. Using the developed system, an object was detected at different depths, and the superiority of the metamaterial in relation to the use of a focusing system based on a parabolic mirror is shown.
