PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
5-day course
Data will be provided for practice and for final presentation
Every student gets lecture notes
Tentative content
The participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of GPR operation. Through illustrative examples of GPR use, the participants will be introduced with the properties of various antenna types using different frequency range.
Through practical activities, the participants will learn not only how to use the radar, but also analyse and interpret its surveys.
