Ground penetrating radar GPR polarization is an important consideration when designing a GPR survey and is useful to constrain the size, shape, orientation, and electrical properties of buried objects. The polarization of the signal measured by the receive antenna is a function of the polarization of the transmit antenna and scattering properties of subsurface targets. Circular cylinders represent important environmental and engineering targets such as buried pipes, wires, and rebar. The backscattered fields from cylinders may be strongly depolarized depending on the orientation of the cylinder relative to the antennas, the electrical properties of the cylinders, and the radius of the cylinder compared to the incident wavelength. These polarization dependent scattering properties have important implications for target detection, survey design, and data interpretation. As the radius-to-wavelength ratio of metal and plastic pipes decreases, the backscattering properties become more polarization dependent. When using linearly polarized dipole antennas, metallic pipes and low impedance dielectric pipes are best imaged with the long axis of the dipole antennas oriented parallel to the long axis of the pipes. High impedance, dielectric pipes, are best imaged with the long axis of the dipoles oriented orthogonal to the long axis of the pipes. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

2. Polarization

The electromagnetic field at a given point in space, at a given time, has both a magnitude and a direction, and thus is described by vectors. As the electromagnetic wave propagates, the orien- tation and magnitude of these vectors change as a function of time. Polarization describes the magnitude and direction of the electromagnetic field as a function of time and space. When the Ž time varying EM fields vary sinusoidally time . harmonic , polarization may be classified as linear, circular, or elliptical. If the vector that describes the electric field as a function of time is always directed along a straight line, the field is said to be linearly polarized. If the vector sweeps out a circle, it is referred to as circular polarization. Both are special cases of elliptical polarization, in which the electric field traces out an ellipse. An arbitrary electromagnetic field can be described by three orthogonal basis vec- tors. Since the electric and magnetic fields are orthogonal to the direction of propagation, if we choose one of the basis vectors in the direction of propagation, the electric field can be decom- posed into two orthogonal basis vectors. The electric field of a wave traveling in the z direc- tion can be described by two orthogonal compo- Ž . nents as given by Balanis 1989 : E z ,t s E e ya z cos v t y b z y f Ž .

The polarization and orientation of the transmit antenna is thus important to ensure sufficient energy is scattered from subsurface targets to allow measurement by the receive antenna. Preferential scattering may result in depolariza- tion of the incident field. Depolarization occurs when the amplitude or phase of the incident Ž Ž .. field components Eq. 1 are modified such that the scattered field results in a different polarization. The ability of the receive antenna to measure these scattered fields is determined not only by the power of the scattered fields, but also by the polarization match between the scattered fields and the receive antenna. The polarization of the field incident on the receive antenna is determined by the polarization of the field radiated by the transmit antenna and the degree of depolarization experienced by scatter- ing from subsurface objects. It is thus important to understand the polarization properties of GPR antennas and scattering from subsurface objects. Most commercial GPR antennas are dipole or bow-tie antennas that radiate linearly polarized energy with the majority of the radiated electric field oriented along the long axis of the dipole or bow-tie.

A complete polarization mismatch us- ing dipole antennas results when the scattered field and polarization of the receive antenna are Ž Ž .. both linearly polarized Eq. 2 and oriented at right angles to each other. For example, rotating ideal dipole antennas orthogonal to each other Ž . crossed-dipoles results in a complete polariza- tion mismatch. Spiral, or other circularly polar- ized antennas, are also used for pipe detection. A complete polarization mismatch using circu- larly polarized antennas results when the scat- tered field and receive antenna are both circu- Ž Ž .. larly polarized Eq. 3 , but have electric fields Ž with opposite rotation directions left and right . circular .
