INTRODUCTION
GPRSIM c.1992-2017 - Ground Penetrating Radar Simulation -
is a forward modeling interactive software package for Windows that is
designed specifically for simulating radargrams collected with a ground
penetrating radar instrument. Since the user specifies many
instrument design features in the software, radargrams collected from
a variety of commercially available systems can be easily simulated.
A partial list of the features contained in the GPRSIM Software is:
- simulated radargrams based on exact ray tracing
- exact model structural/slope specification using lines,
splines, and special functions (e.g. cylinders for
pipe simulations) draw menu
- wave attenuation, geometrical spreading
- included wavetype multiples, peg-leg multiples, etc.
- antenna design
directional response
impulse response
aperture
- conductive-dissipation/dielectric relaxation EM model
- wave polarization
- mono-static and bi-static simulations
vertical profiling
wide angle
expanding spreads
- complete interactive menus
- full range of radargram display options
- capability to read a variety of GPR manufacturer data
The GPRSIM Software is all interactively controlled using
specially designed menus that are easy to operate using the mouse,
and are visually easy to comprehend.
The GPRSIM Software is a unique ray tracing software package in
that the user can describe the model structures and interface slopes
using shape functions, allowing for continuous or infinite measurement
of model structural/slope information.
A published reference describing the theory used in GPRSIM along
with applications of GPRSIM in engineering to archaeology is given in
Goodman 1994 (GEOPHYSICS, February).
