Device and method for detecting an object in a subsurface
First Claim
1. A method for detecting an object in a subsurface, comprising the following steps:
- emitting a transmission signal into the subsurface via a transmitting element of a transmitting unit;
receiving a reception signal, the reception signal being a function of the transmission signal and properties of the object and of the subsurface, by each receiving element of a receiving unit;
emitting a further transmission signal into the subsurface via a further transmitting element of the transmitting unit; and
receiving a further reception signal as a function of the further transmission signal and the properties of the object and of the subsurface by each receiving element of the receiving unit, wherein a control and evaluation unit computes multiple depth section images based on the reception signal.

Abstract
A device for detecting an object in a subsurface, including a transmitting unit having a transmitting element designed to emit a transmission signal into the subsurface, a receiving unit having two or more receiving elements designed to receive a reception signal which is a function of the transmission signal and the properties of the object and of the subsurface, a control and evaluation unit which is designed to control the transmitting unit and receiving unit and to evaluate the reception signals, and a display unit which is designed to display the reception signals evaluated by the control and evaluation unit. The transmitting unit has at least one further transmitting element which is designed to emit at least one further transmission signal into the subsurface, and the transmitting elements of the transmitting unit are controllable independently of one another by the control and evaluation unit. A method is also provided.
