2. Brief Description of Georadar
Georadar is quite a sophisticated engineering device. Below, its simplified structural
schematic is presented, which allows getting a general idea of its principle of operation but does
not reflect its complexity.

The transmitter sends extremely short electric pulses exciting the antenna. The transmitting
antenna radiates ultra-wideband one-and-half-period electromagnetic waves, their approximate
shape is shown in Fig. 2.2.
