In the framework of ARCHEO, a national research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Universities and Scientific and Technological Research, a new ground penetrating radar has been developed by the Italian Consortium for Research on Advanced Remote Sensing Systems. The system has been specially designed to meet archaeological requirements and it will be used to identify and characterize buried finds. The paper summarizes the main guidelines followed during the design phase and presents the radar architecture.
