| Abstract | Some geophysical and geotechnical scientists would wish to non-invasively measure the electromagnetic properties of soils using inexpensive, even disposable, technology. They may even wish to develop inexpensive and compact low-power GPR equipment for such uses as teaching and mitigation of construction risks during excavation. To this end, a heuristic comparison is made between a commercial Vector Network Analyser (VNA) and two very low cost VNAs sourced from the amateur radio community. The results are used to illustrate the potential for technology transfer from amateur communications to the GPR community, in order that a wider range of technologies be available for inexpensive implementation in GPR and soil spectroscopy studies. It will be shown that even very low-cost gain and phase detection semiconductor devices can be used to develop simple GPR and soil measurement systems capable of being used in the field to compliment GPR survey interpretation, as well as for standalone soil monitoring. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
