This work aims at offering an overview on the scientific results stemming from a selection of three Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) carried out in 2016 and funded by the COST Action TU1208 'Civil Engineering Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar.' The research activities focused on the development and use of electromagnetic modelling and inversion techniques for Ground Penetrating Radar applications.

This paper deals with bistatic subsurface probing of a horizontally layered dielectric half-space by means of ultra-wideband electromagnetic waves. In particular, the main objective of this work is to present a new method for the solution of the two-dimensional back-scattering problem arising when a pulsed electromagnetic signal impinges on a non-uniform dielectric half-space; this scenario is of interest for ground penetrating radar (GPR) applications.
