Abstract
The aims of this paper are the study of response signals of the Ground PenetratingRadar (GPR) and the development of one numerical code in order to improve the efficiency of thesimulation and to compare the obtained results by different softwares (GprMax2D/3D andReflexw). The first software is free while the other is not and it is expensive. The work presentedhere examines objects buried in homogenous and inhomogeneous dielectrics mediums using 400MHz and 800 MHz antennas, in order to study the influence the mediums on the detected signals.
