Abstract
In recent years, electromagnetic characterization of subsurface targets and its application to detection and identification using ultra-wideband (UWB) ground penetrating radar (GPR) have attracted great interest from the research community.1–6 The targets are stationary and located in clutter environments with large false-alarm rates as a universal consequence. This, in turn, makes the target identification capability of GPR systems indispensable.
