Exploration of A Cemetery Using Ground Penetration Radar

Abstract

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology is used to determine the extent towhich this technique can detect with a high-frequency range from 10 MHz to 1000MHz into the ground by a transmitting antenna and A graveyard was found beneaththe depth of the three meters under Surface of the earth in the shrine of the ProphetHoud and Saleh in Al-Najaf Governorate surveyed by through 4 tracks. GroundPenetrating Radar (GPR) is a device that transmits short pulses of electromagneticenergy with pulse duration about 1 ns to 20 ns. applying the filter Time- Zero to thesame profile at a depth (3m) , Two types of antennas were used in this study, withtwo different frequencies antennas (250, 500 )MHz Three tracks (23,25,26) weresurveyed using an antenna (250 MHz) and one (96) track using an antenna(500MHz) . The data were collected and extracted from the device memory and theradar segments were then treated using the special program of processingRadExplorer software which contains many filters that are used to process thereceived signal.
