Abstract

The ground penetrating radar was applied to the detection of underground pipeline. The signal of ground penetrating radar was analyzed to simulate the different sizes of pipelines and oil. The data were processed by GRED HD software. Radar profiles and single-channel waveforms of underground pipelines and oil were obtained. The nonstationary signals of geological radars were processed and analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain method. The different radar characteristic signals of underground pipelines and radar signal variations of pipeline oil were discussed. It can improve the accuracy of interpretation of underground pipelines and oil.
