The plane‐wave transmitting spectrum (PWTS) of a ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) loop antenna close to the air–soil interface is measured by means of a probe buried in soil. Probe correction is implemented based upon knowledge about the complex permittivity of the soil and the current distribution of the probe. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
