Abstract
A technique for discrimination of a desired wave from measured borehole radar signal by using a time-frequency distribution(TFD) is discussed. Field measurement with a broad-band directional borehole radar equipped with micro array antennas was carried out for precise measurement of subsurface cracks. A direct coupling between transmitting and receiving antennas, which forms modes of guided waves along a radar sonde in a water-filled borehole, was theoretically analyzed and the propagation constant was determined. A TFD by Choi-Williams method is applied to the measured signal, which is a superposition of the direct coupling and desired reflected waves. From this TFD, we identified the guided wave and could extract reflected waves from radar targets.
