Abstract

Previous electromagnetic scattering result have been presented for the ramp response profile functions for Anti- Personnel (A-P) Mines in lossless, homogeneous media. 3D images have been generated using such profile functions for three orthogonal incidence angles. The purpose of this present paper is to provide techniques for generating profile functions for lossy dispersive media. This procedure has been quite successful, provided the electrical properties of the ground are known, and the radar is calibrated. Under these conditions, these profile functions would provide valid radar images of the A-P mines.
