 Compared to seismic data (apart from the recording or sampling time and size of the survey) GPR data exhibit a few differences. Compared to seismic data (apart from the recording or sampling time and size of the survey) GPR data exhibit a few differences.
  
-  * Absolute propagation time is generally unknown. Actually, GPR propagation is so fast that the receiver signal can'be digitized upon receiving a start signal from the transmitter, like in seimics. The source is fired at regular intervals and the digitizer is shifted by one sample at each pulse. The absolute time is not known but can be deduced when one knows the distance between antennas. Consequently you have to apply a static correction to GPR signal using ''sustatic''+  * Absolute propagation time is generally unknown. Actually, GPR propagation is so fast that the receiver can'start diitizin when receiving a trigger signal from the transmitter, like in seimics. The source is fired at regular intervals and the digitizer is shifted by one sample at each pulse. The absolute time is not known but can be deduced when one knows the distance between antennas. Consequently you have to apply a static correction to GPR signal using ''sustatic'' to exhibit real travel time.
   * GPR signal is generally strongly polarized and affected by some very low frequencies caused by electronic noise. This is easily corrected by removing the mean of the trace (''sugain mbal=1'') and applying a high pass filter consistent with the antennas band-pass   * GPR signal is generally strongly polarized and affected by some very low frequencies caused by electronic noise.

   * The direct wave in the air (even with shielded antennas) and in the ground is very strong. It often saturates the analog to digital converter. They must be muted prior applying bandpass filters. This can be done using ''sumute mode=1'' or the dedicated ''sugprfb'' tool.   * The direct wave in the air (even with shielded antennas) and in the ground is very strong.
