Ground-Penetrating Radar Continuous Sampling Digitizer

The system performs continuous sampling of the reflected wave at a fixed sample rate, eliminating the need to wait for complete pulses between samples. This continuous action allows the digitizer to capture multiple samples per pulse, significantly reducing acquisition time while maintaining high measurement precision through accumulated data from multiple pulses.

The system uses a timing recovery mechanism that continuously monitors the received signal and adjusts the sampling clock phase to synchronize with the randomized pulse arrivals. This feedback loop eliminates jitter by dynamically adapting the sampling timing to match the actual pulse positions, maintaining measurement precision even when pulses are randomized for security or interference avoidance.

The system uses a lower-resolution, moderate sample rate digitizer that performs continuous sampling at a fixed rate, taking more samples than strictly necessary per pulse. By accumulating and averaging multiple samples, the system achieves high measurement precision without requiring an expensive high-speed digitizer, thus reducing device complexity and cost.

The system continuously samples the reflected wave without waiting for complete pulse cycles, accumulating samples across multiple pulses in real-time. This continuous accumulation allows noise reduction through averaging while minimizing acquisition time, as the system does not need to complete full pulse sequences between samples.
