Abstract:
A ground penetration radar (GPR) antenna system is integrated into a digging machine such that the system is configured to remain operable under the same environmental conditions as the machine. The system includes an RF antenna and an antenna monitor. The antenna includes a rectangular hollow enclosure made of a conductive material defining a cavity therein and is affixed to a bucket of the digging machine. The antenna monitor is rigidly connected to the hollow enclosure and monitors inertial antenna location and/or movement.

Claim (Index 9):
The antenna system according to  claim 1  wherein said antenna comprises:\n a bow tie shaped slot in a first portion of the hollow enclosure, wherein the bow tie shaped slot has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis of symmetry; \n an elliptical conductor which tapers along a longitudinal axis of the conductor from a feed point of a port, wherein a projection of the conductor on the bow tie shaped slot overlaps said transverse axis of symmetry; and \n a dielectric element that at least partially fills the cavity and the bow tie shaped slot and encases the conductor to maintain the conductor in a location above said slot.
