Abstract
A new method for accurately estimating the relative permittivities and the thicknesses of each layer of a material such as the ground is provided. The method is based on acquisitions of measurements taken by a ground-penetrating radar provided with a plurality of transmitting antennas and a plurality of receiving antennas (multiple input multiple output or MIMO radar). The proposed method is based on a particular algorithm that aims to estimate the most probable (delay, relative permittivity) pairs that correspond to the different layers making up the structure of the ground.
