title = "Development of a Digital Twin for Airborne Ground Penetrating Radar",
abstract = "A 3D fine numerical model of Vivaldi antenna is established to develop a digital twin of an airborne ground penetrating radar (GPR). The model describes the details of the geometric and dielectric properties of the air-coupled GPR antenna, constructing a digital twin of a real airborne GPR. The comparisons between the simulated and laboratory collected GPR signals show that the established air-coupled antenna model accurately replicates the signals of a real airborne GPR system. The study, on the one hand, can provide significant reference for the development of a real airborne GPR instrument, on the other hand, it can be used for generating synthetic training data for machine learning, and be used as a numerical antenna in Full Waveform Inversion.",
