Analysis of georadar reflection responses

Understanding the nature of the georadar reflection response in terms of the dielectric permittivity and conductivity contrast is important in the realm of interpretation. This motivates the present study, which has the aim to carry out an experiment in a controlled fashion such that the relation can be established between the measurement and the relevant physical parameters. In the present paper, we present the results of such a measurement and an interpretation based upon a 1D model, which is realistic enough to accommodate sophisticated physical parameter models.
