Ground penetrating radar has to deal with serious drawbacks when used for the detection of anti-personnel mines. This is mainly due to a high clutter level, target signal weakness and a low penetration depth of higher frequency components. In this paper, a method to increase the acquired information content by means of multistatic measurements is proposed. Different acquisition strategies and according measurement setups are described. Radar images obtained from two reconstruction methods, namely tomographic backpropagation and the non-linearized factorization method, are presented to verify the concepts.
