Abstract
— In this paper, an intelligent anti-personnel landmine detection system is
proposed. The system generates continues electromagnetic waves in the (2-8GHz)
range through a wave guide and analyzes the reflected signal to decide on the
presence of a landmine under the ground. A multi-layer model to represent the
interaction of the signal with the soil and landmine is developed. Simulation
results are presented to find the optimum operating frequency for improved
detection of the landmine. Furthermore, an experimental set up is built to
validate the operation of the system. The results indicate that accurate
detection of the presence of landmine is feasible. |
