With the increasing use of RF jammers, detection of buried command wires has gained significant importance in detecting metallic and non-metallic threats which may be buried underground. The concept of using a multi-polarimetric Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is demonstrated for the purposes of detecting command wires. Considering the wire diameter, orientation and the buried depth the need for high resolution for wire detection increases even more. For this reason, L – C band Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) multi-polarization antenna GPR antenna array is studied. Using a full-wave electromagnetic simulation environment, which includes the models of Quad Ridge Horn (QRH) antennas, clayey soil and the target wire, the problem is modelled and the obtained performance is demonstrated. Furthermore, measurements were taken with an experimental GPR data collection setup in a similar fashion to the full-wave electromagnetic simulation environment.
