In this paper, a comparison of two ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems is presented, the classical bi-static one and the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system both using N Vivaldi antennas. For both configurations a Linear Sampling Metthod (LSM) imaging algorithm and Kirchhoff migration technique are used for target detection and localization. The performance of both systems are compared through a parametric study based on synthetic data modeling a GPR scene.
