Combined ground penetrating radar and metal detector equipment are now avail- able (e.g., MINEHOUND, ERA Technology-Vallon GmbH) for landmine detection. The perfor- mance of the radar detector is in∞uenced by the electromagnetic characteristics of the soil. In this paper we present an experimental procedure that uses the same equipment for the detec- tion and calibration by means of signal processing procedures for the estimation of the relative permittivity of the soil. The experimental uncertainties of this method are also reported.
