We discuss the applicability of the Linear Sampling Method (LSM) to GPR surveys carried out using array-based conflgurations. Since the images achieved via LSM are known to get worse when using a small number of antennas and a limited aperture, we introduce an analytic tool to foresee the expected LSM performance for a flxed array size and number of antennas. Notably, such a tool allows us to support (and appraise) the adoption of LSM to data collected with short arrays moved above the investigated domain, which is the conflguration most viable in applications.
