Amsterdams city center has passed the tipping point towards a singularity; people who come to Amsterdam for the sake of Amsterdam are finding Nutella waffle shops, love it because theyre stoned all the time, bringing in more similar tourists, causing more waffle shops , bringing in more tourists, who demand more waffles ad infinitum.People who come to Amsterdam and stay in the city center seem to have only one thing on their agenda; to be able to say that theyve been to Amsterdam. To be able to say that they were part of it. Part of that free-for-all society, whatever that may mean.Why they want to celebrate this in Amsterdam per se, when the whole country has the same regulation? Beats me.Why they want to celebrate the Amsterdam lifestyle when it has the locals shaking their heads? Beats me.But that is not the point. The point is that Amsterdam has given in, and now its at a point where the city attracts a certain type of tourist. A tourist that doesnt care that all that hes seeing are souvenir shops, prostitutes and munchies-satisfiers (I mean waffle shops). Amsterdam doesnt exist in those streets any more than Main Street exists in Disneyland. Its just a theme for a sad, consumerist paradise. An excuse to give the shop fronts a design, while behind the facades is justemptiness. (And waffles.)Of course, other cities attract a certain type of tourist as well. But cities like London, Rome or Paris at least attract people based on their merits in theatre, history and romance, respectively. Amsterdam attracts groups of drunk Italians, hens/stag parties from the UK, and Americans that want to smoke weed until they cant feel feelings anymore.So instead of this increasing tourism creating a demand for more theatre or a well-maintained city center things we can get behind tourism in Amsterdam creates an insane demand for Chinese souvenir crap, a sex industry that is still riddled by people trafficking, however good the intentions of the municipality are. And ing waffle shops.Please, Amsterdam..why? Youre gorgeous! Why do you hang out with these scumbags? Why do you dress your beautifully curved canals and houses in these slutty souvenir exteriors? You dont need to lower your standards to attract nice people. No need to excuse yourself for your brains your Rijksmuseum, your Van Goghs and Anne Franks by showing off your body. Just be yourself, and youll meet the right ones.I bet you they wont even like waffles.·RELATED QUESTIONbringing weed back from amsterdam to usa.?You actually need to be under arrest for a body cavity search so keep your luggage clean and you wont get arrested.

From Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Lima (Peru) by flight?The Air Europa route (AMS-Madrid-LIM) had a reasonable stopover in Madrid and was somewhat cheaper than the direct KLM flight. However, if you book sufficiently early, the difference may not be that much between the KLM and Air Europa flight.A reason to go for the more expensive KLM flight may be that the Air Europa flights seem to have a higher risk of being cancelled. My return trip in March 2012 was combined with two other Air Europa return flights (12h earlier and 24h earlier), impacting my holiday planning somewhat. If you have a scheduled trip in Peru, this might be impractical. With KLM you may have a smaller risk of this occurring.

If you go Paris-Amsterdam, you can get there by train, but check airfare just in case. If you go back to London in between each mini-trip you could also look into a rail pass (raileurope.com); otherwise, visiting Paris and Amsterdam at the same time might be your best and cheapest option.

It's not only reasonable, it's an excellent idea. Traffic and, in particular, parking in Amsterdam is difficult, even at the "best" of times. Parking garages are expensive (albeit not as pricey as those in Manhattan!) and parking fines AND clamping are rife. Amsterdam (as well as many cities in The Netherlands) is "cyclist-friendly". You have far less risk of being run down here as a biker than in many other European cities. Amsterdam also has an excellent public transport system.

Unlike anthers town using their millions of tourists, Brussels is Belgium's main economic and instructional heart, which gives the town a far more workaday sense than different towns.

DevDays 2009 Reviews - AmsterdamOne thing I noticed was that all the hands-on first application demos failed miserably (except for the App Engine talk).QT and ASP.NET MVC are too broadly spread technologies to try and do a hands-on application demo in an hour. I guess that's why both struggled. Side note: Eero Bragge took 15 minutes to design a form in a WYSIWIG editor which is kind of insulting the intellect of all the developers in the audience. Similarly the jQuery talk had quite the extensive run-down of the API which was not at all informative as it's meaningless to both folks who have and have not used jQuery before: either they do not care (just yet) or are already familiar with the API. A talk on jQuery in the real world solving real problems would have won more hearts.Simon Willison's (Python) & Christian Heilmann's (YUI) approach of:worked because it had no intention of being a newbie tutorial on . This way everyone can take away something from the presentation wheter you are already knowledgeable on the subject or not:Judging the tweets and this thread most people seem to concur the Python and YUI talks were the best.As for the event organisation itself it was all good except I quite enjoyed the event and would definitely visit next year as well. On top of that I love the stackoverflow.com stickers I was able to grab in abundance!

Use orbitz.com, expedia.com, and websites of the like, but also check the airline websites that fly out of Boston (or Manchester or Portland or any other one that it might be economical to drive to, depending on the cost difference in the flight.) No matter where you find the cheapest flight, book it directly through the airline. I have very often found "deals" on expedia, orbitz, etc. that claim to be exclusively through those sites; you pay for the flight and a 5 dollar fee (or more) for the use of the site. However, once I've found a good deal, I have just written down the flight info and found it on the airline website. Thus, you get the cheap flight minus the orbitz fees. It's good you are starting now so that you can get a sense of how much this will cost you. Do not buy anything right away though, as flight prices can change dramatically from week to week. Just bookmark the sites on which you have success and check in on them every day or two. Have fun fun fun and bring back some tulips!1.

Is Silicon Canals the next Silicon Valley?The Netherlands is famous for a great many things: bicycles, equal rights, electronic music, cheese, windmills, pancakes, rain, Heineken, weed (I could go on). Its a great place to be, but few know that the country doubles as a popular hub for startups. There are numerous accelerators, incubators, and co-working spaces all providing a welcoming environment to international businesses and citizens alike.In my 15 years of traveling the world as an expat, Ive returned to the Netherlands at least six times. Allow me to share with you what makes this country a competitive destination for global businesses, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers.Why Is the Netherlands So Attractive for Businesses and Startups?The Netherlands consistently ranks high on many global indices from the fastest internet speeds to quality of life, safety, and overall happiness. Its a pleasant place to live regardless, but there are a few factors that specifically attract international tech startups and companies. These have helped it earn the rank of 1 in the European Union for its startup business climate.Diverse, Global PopulationThe Netherlands is an open, progressive society with a diverse workforce, supporting creativity and innovation. One in five in Dutch society has a parent who was born abroad. The city of Amsterdam celebrates and recognizes residents of 180 different nationalities and counting.English-Speaking90% of Dutch residents speak English, and many are multilingual.Netherlands Startup VisaThe government created the Netherlands Startup Visa for non-EU/EEA citizens who want to start a business in the Netherlands. It gives budding entrepreneurs one year to launch their business idea with an option to extend for another year. The Ambitious Entrepreneurship Action Plan also supports startups.Skilled Migrant VisaThis fast-track immigration process for highly-skilled, non-EU immigrants is of benefit to workers and employers alike.Startup Delta MissionFounded by former politician Neelie Kroes, the Startup Delta aims to merge the Dutch startup ecosystem into one single connected hub, remove barriers, and improve access to talent, capital, networks, knowledge, and markets.What does this mean in laymans terms? They want to pave the way for startups in the Netherlands. According to my research at some of the over 60 co-working spaces throughout Amsterdam, Startup Delta initiatives are directly responsible for supporting and growing the startup culture throughout the country.Tax IncentivesBesides providing a level of clarity and certainty that companies can rely on long-term, the Dutch government also offers competitive tax deductions, reimbursements, and allowances. Perks include an effective corporate tax rate as low as 5% for R&D and innovation.Infrastructure & ConnectivityAnyone who has engaged in international business knows that the low labor and operating costs in developing countries frequently come with trade-offs especially when it comes to a reliable infrastructure. Conversely, the Netherlands is known for its excellent transportation and telecommunications network, which makes doing business that much faster and easier. The country boasts some of the highest broadband speeds in Europe and is even the birthplace of Bluetooth and WiFi.Strong EconomyThe Netherlands is in the top 5 of the most competitive economies in the world, which speaks for itself.Stable Political SituationThe Netherlands is a functional, democratic, law-abiding society, which tends to create a secure climate for business operations.

Since options are somewhat limited, crowd-funding or going to individual investors are two primary ways of raising capital. Although this can be detrimental to a startup economy, there are now plenty of ways for entrepreneurs and indie makers worldwide to raise seed capital in 2018 and beyond. Overall, Holland is still a great place for small companies to launch before relocating to hubs such as London for the next step in their growth model.Notably, the Netherlands is also attractive to companies on the other end of the spectrum, such as Google, Uber, and Amazon. Brexit has further enhanced the countrys appeal to companies of all scales looking to relocate from the UK.What Does it Mean for You?Paris and London still receive the majority of VC funding in Europe, but the Netherlands business-friendly tax policies, English-speaking population, startup initiatives, and high quality of life are compelling for companies, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads looking for a home.Emerging economies like China and India are already in-the-know, with hundreds of companies recently setting up shop in Holland.The Netherlands has a number of strengths, including its central geographic location, excellent infrastructure and strong workforce.

Tulips are poking their heads up all over town: in parks, on traffic islands, on stray patches of grass. People are emerging from their winter chrysalises onto café terraces to catch the early spring sun. With magnificent museums, canalside walks, hip new restaurants, and blossoming parks, Amsterdam offers plenty to do, indoors and out, in this season of gentle sunshine and sudden showers. Here's my pick of the city's best hotels for a slice of Old Amsterdam charm.Seven One Seven brings you as close as you can get to the experience of living in a stately Amsterdam canal house without actually owning one - the place to come if you really want to give yourself a treat. The rear part of the property dates from the 17th century, its elegant canal frontage being added in 1810. All very grand, yet with a homely, domestic touch - this even runs to afternoon tea laid out in the library, and an evening glass or two of wine. The hotel operates an all-in policy (room rates include all of the aforementioned), so there is no sordid scrabbling for coin or signing of chits.Double rooms from £250.Read the full review:Seven One Seven, Amsterdam The best hotels in Amsterdam On an attractive stretch of canal within the central canal belt, just around the corner from the Negen Straatjes shopping area, within walking distance of the Dam and Royal Palace, and on the edge of the Jordaan (a pretty quarter, known for its restaurants, boutiques and cafés). Luscious fabrics, deep purples, rich colours, soft chairs, dark carved wood, subtle lighting and chandeliers. Mysterious and womb-like, The Toren is set in a couple of grand canal houses, and seems to suck you back into another world the moment you step through the door. Here and there original features remain - a painted ceiling, carved wainscoting, stucco moulding. There are zany touches, too: crocodile-skin and faux corrugated-zinc wallpaper alongside the flock and damask.Double rooms from £115.Read the full review:Hotel Toren, Amsterdam On one of Amsterdam's oldest canals, in the heart of the Negen Straatjes - the 'Nine Little Streets', a hip shopping, café and restaurant quarter. Old Amsterdam meets opera-set bordello. Patterns on every fabric, different paper on every wall. Fake cherry blossom, real orchids, and crystal chandeliers with frilly shades, fill three adjoining canal houses. There are more than 90 rooms, of varying sizes and with different décor. One is done up floor to ceiling in Delftware blue and white; another panelled and draped in russets and browns. Most have bold wallpaper, piles of cushions, comfy sofas or armchairs. They are not huge, but are roomy enough by Amsterdam standards, with period flourishes (crystal chandelier and four-poster beds), and quirky Amsterdam references.Double rooms from £110.Read the full review:Hotel Estherea, Amsterdam Top 10: the best boutique hotels in Amsterdam Seven Bridges enjoys one of the most beautiful locations in town with (as you might have guessed) a view of seven bridges at the intersection of two canals. The hotel is a showcase of antiques. We're talking the real stuff - a rare Dutch Empire récamier in Reception, up a 15th-century oak staircase, in the bedrooms, that priceless little Louis XVI table, a Baroque commode, here an elegant piece of Biedermeyer, there a touch of Art Deco - all done with exquisite taste and care, and an eye for authenticity. Breakfast is served in the rooms on prime porcelain. The best rooms are those with canal views, though the ones at street level can be noisy. The owners are quite upfront about this when you book, as they are about rooms where access is by precipitous stairway.Double rooms from £75.Read the full review:Seven Bridges Hotel, Amsterdam Brouwer occupies a spot on one of the main canals, right in the heart of town, is convenient for nightlife, shopping, museums... pretty much anything you want to do in Amsterdam. Owned by the same family for three generations, Hotel Brouwer was closed for much of the 1990s, getting a major refit. A warren of 20 rooms became more spacious accommodation with just eight bedrooms, each with bathroom en suite (an idea unheard of in earlier days), and the 17th-century canal-house façade was restored to its former elegance. Great for that busy short break, when you are going to be popping in and out, dropping off shopping or that museum poster, picking up another jersey, or having a quick shower-and-change before heading out again for dinner.Double rooms from £95.Read the full review:Hotel Brouwer, Amsterdam Top 10: romantic hotels in Amsterdam Rembrandt bought this grand house on the edge of the Jewish Quarter in 1639, when he was at the height of his wealth and fame. (He is said to have been fascinated by Hebrew culture, and preferred Jewish models for his religious painting.) The building has been carefully restored, using old plans and descriptions, and I love it for its authentic atmosphere. Even the reconstructed studio (a concept often tritely carried out) is superbly done. The museum holds a considerable collection of Rembrandt etchings. My own favourites are a series of tiny self-portraits of the painter pulling funny faces (00 31 20 520 0400; rembrandthuis.nl ).A portrait of Greetje, the owner's mother, smiles out at you from the wall. And most contented she would be, could she see what was happening in her name. Greetje harks back to good, traditional values in Dutch cooking, to a world of pure ingredients and forgotten flavours, but often with a cheeky twist. Think sea bass with elderflower sauce and creamed oats. Greetje's Big Beginning is a must - a magnificent tier of all manner of starters: delicately smoked Volendam eel, Limburg cave mushroom soup, and more. Puddings bring a shine of childhood nostalgia to Dutch diners' eyes (00 31 20 779 7450; restaurantgreetje.nl ).The best hotels in Amsterdam White walls, light woods, high ceilings and minimalist design combine with huge windows overlooking the Amstel River, and a terrace jutting out over the water. De Jaren is a longstanding networking venue for arts and media folk, and heaves at cocktail hour, but I love it most on a sunny day, when you can moor a boat alongside for a drink on the terrace. It's also great for whiling away a rainy afternoon, in a basket chair or at the long reading table. Upstairs, in the evenings, there's a well-stocked salad bar (rare in Amsterdam), as well as affordable fuller meals (00 31 20 625 5771; cafedejaren.nl ).Telegraph Media Group Limited 2019 Need help?Visit our adblocking instructions page.

The connected and cross-disciplinary professionals, including: Peter Maarten Westerhout, Alix Rbsaam, Maayke Aimee Damen, and Jordy Egging.We localized the body of thought coming out of SU to what is going on in our region because we want to share knowledge and experience in order to inspire others to do something here, comments Peter Maarten Westerhout from the SingularityU Amsterdam leadership team. We run events for alumni, but also for the curious.There is no shortage of curious people in Amsterdam. Historically, the Dutch have been known for their global explorations, and more recently they have become one of the most vibrant startup culture cities in Europe.The Netherlands, and Amsterdam especially, are quite involved in thinking about new technologies. Relative to other countries, the Netherlands has a strong interest in technologies and also has a large startup culture, shares Alix Rbsaam another member of the SingularityU Amsterdam leadership team. The city of Amsterdam even has a CTO. We were excited to have him speak at one of our events.Maayke continues, Because our country is so small, we have to think a lot about the global grand challenges. For example, water or waste management issues are something that we need to talk about because of our demographic.Filling a Community VoidA common thread for the team members is that each one of the 4 members once felt isolated regarding their interests in technologies and exponentials. We have each found a way to an existing community we didnt know existed. So to be able to facilitate such a journey and help others find their community is the idea we started with, shares Jordy Egging, another SingularityU Amsterdam leadership member.Although it is often difficult to quantitatively measure the number of connections and outcomes from these new relationships, the team is confident that they are adding value to a growing community. Some evidence includes regularly receiving letters of appreciation and gratitude from event participants. And several other have offered to host future events for the chapter.It is not uncommon for the chapters events to have sold out within hours of announcing the event. In fact, the team had to make a special effort to cap the number of attendees at around 150 per event.The growth of the community has been fueled in large part by referrals. Around a third of the people who attend our events are first timers, shares Jordy. People send the invite to others who are not already in our communications channels, which really helps to get the new curious onboard and grow the community around it.We recently hosted an event at a really awesome tech co-working space with a nice garden here in Amsterdam. People came in and immediately started networking. Our team was making introductions as often as we could. We made a short introduction about what the evening was about, a bit about our SU community and then about why we intentionally chose to host our event in this coworking space. Then we had 3 speakers, saved up questions and then held a really nice moderated discussion with the participants, explains Maayke.SingularityU The NetherlandsFor such a small country, The Netherlands has a disproportionately large number of Singularity University alumni and chapters. Currently there are 4 different Chapters in the Netherlands Eindhoven (currently seeking volunteers), Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Nijmegen.The team has been able to collaborate with the already established SingularityU The Netherlands country partnership. Although SingularityU The Netherlands is quite different from the in its offering and day-to-day experience, the opportunity to collaborate is very much a part of the chapters success.We have been really lucky to have access to the larger SingularityU The Netherlands community as well. For years, the country partnership team has been organizing events in the Netherlands and we were able to tap into this 2000 people strong community to spread the word about our events. We also attend each others events which makes the collaboration really easy and fun, explains Peter Maarten. Alix continues, We work with the other Chapters really well. They are awesome and always help us with whatever we need help with. We always make sure we align events, share resources, speakers, dates, important stuff coming up so that we dont have overlapping events.Community EventsThe Chapter focuses on running two different types of events. The first is a networking type of event. While they do offer some content, the events are mainly focused on bringing the community together to connect people who share similar interests and passions.The second type of event focuses heavily on local impact, which involves choosing a local challenge space, inviting expert speakers and hosting conversations and dialogue around that topic. These events have lead to many beneficial shared experiences including discovering coworking spaces, landing new jobs, co-hosting events and more.There is a community of people who have the same interest. The community feels very open and curious, adds Jordy.The chapter has a strong sense of community and purpose. We provide people who cannot afford the price or the time to go to SU with information so that they can learn the exponential way of thinking and then incorporate that into their lives, explains Maayke. For us, what we aim for at the events is that we help them get to know others who are interested in the same things to be able to help each other and we provide them the knowledge and tools to be able to do that. All our events are aimed at this.To learn more about SingularityU Chapters and to get involved, explore their website here.In the Spotlight: Singularity University ChaptersSince launching the SingularityU Chapters program in 2015, the SingularityU Global network has grown to an impressive network of 107 chapters in 57 countries.

The match featured the winners of the 1993-94 Eredivisie Ajax and the winners of the 1993-94 KNVB Cup Feyenoord. The game was won by Ajax 30, with the goals coming from Jari Litmanen, Tarik Oulida and Patrick Kluivert.PTT (an acronym for Posterijen, Telegrafie en Telefonie (Dutch for Postoffice, Telegraph and Telephone)), had been the corporate sponsors since the re-inauguration of the Supercup in 1991. With the competition being known as the 'PTT Telecom Cup', however they withdrew their sponsorship for the 1994 edition of the cup. This led to the name reverting to 'Nederlandse Supercup' (Dutch: Dutch Supercup), a name which was retained until 1996 when the competition became known as the Johan Cruijff-schaal.This would be the last Dutch Supercup to be played at the Olympisch Stadion, in 1995 the games would be played at the De Kuip with all subsequent cups, under the title of the Johan Cruijff-schaal, being played at the Amsterdam ArenA.------Belief and Practice of amsterdamTheir principle from the beginning had been to admit all individuals to their society who were willing to acknowledge their belief in the Bible as inspired scripture, and to take it as a guide for Christian life; but no confession of faith was used, and the widest diversity of opinion was permitted. Their form of worship consisted of prayer meetings held on Sundays and Wednesdays, at which any men of the community might pray and expound the scripture, but there was no regular organization of a ministry among them. They recognized the necessity of baptism, which they administered by immersion, and twice a year they had a sacramental meeting extending over several days, similar to those of the Scottish Presbyterians..------2006 Frankfurt Galaxy season of amsterdamThe 2006 Frankfurt Galaxy season was the 14th season for the franchise in the NFL Europe League (NFLEL).

She suffered from depression, bouts of anorexia, anemia and heart disease but when she was well she struggled with an unrelenting zeal to improve the position of workers, youth, and women.Her first poems were passionately for socialism. She wrote among other things, the Dutch text for the anthem "The Internationale". Later, her work took a more religious character. Among her writings were plays, biographies (of Rousseau, Gandhi and Tolstoy), journalism, and radio plays.During the Second World War she was active in the Dutch resistance, as editor of the resistance magazine De Vonk, then De Vlam. Though of a well to do background, she was certainly not a "salon socialist".At the end of her life she wrote the autobiography Het vuur brandde voort. She died in Amsterdam on 21 November 1952 at the age of 82. A bust was placed in her memory in her birthplace of Noordwijk in 1969.------Minix-vmd of amsterdamMinix-vmd is a computer operating system which was created from MINIX, a Unix-like microkernel, and added some features such as virtual memory and X Window System support. It is free and open source software.Minix-vmd runs on IA-32 and compatible microprocessor architectures. It was written by many of the same authors who develop MINIX, at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam. The acronym reputedly stands for VU Minix Distribution.According to its authors, Minix-vmd was created to meet specific needs they had, rather than to be a general purpose use OS like Linux. It also does not share the educational goals of MINIX.Nevertheless, the OS may have been of interest to others for various purposes, due to its small resource use compared with other operating systems, and other factors. However, MINIX 3 incorporated Minix-vmd's functions.------Early life of amsterdamBorn in Noordwijk on 24 December 1869, Roland Holst was brought up in the affluent, liberal Christian family of the notary Theodore Willem van der Schalk and Anna Ida van der Schalk-van der Hoeven. Roland Holst attended four years of boarding school in Velp and studied French in Liege.Roland Holst soon came to develop a talent as a poet. She married the artist Richard Roland Holst in 1896 and befriended the poet Herman Gorter, who prompted her to read Das Kapital by Karl Marx. Around this time she became politically active and began her career as a writer on political, historical and philosophical fields.------Dutch service history of amsterdamHNLMS Amsterdam was one of eight Friesland-class destroyers and was built at the NDSM in Amsterdam.

It was during this period that he began working on his major book, The Ethics. At the end of the 17th century, the opinions of Spinoza had obtained a strong hold upon the Collegiants, and caused a temporary division of their members into two parties, with separate places of meeting. The leader of the Spinozist party was John Bredenburg, a merchant of Rotterdam, and he was opposed by a bookseller from Amsterdam, named Francis Couper, who attained some eminence by a work which he wrote against Bredenburg under the title Arcana Atheismi detecta ("The Secrets of Atheism Revealed"); he was also the publisher of the Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum seu Unitariorum.

Although GPR has been widely used in hydrology, engineering, environment and other fields, many basic theoretical and technical problems have not been fundamentally solved, so the real advantages of GPR have not been brought into full play.The main problems existing in GPR technology include:1) The detection depth is shallow, and the contradiction between detection depth and resolution cannot be overcome. Increasing detection depth means sacrificing detection resolution;2) Multiple spread and other clutter jamming are serious, and there has been no good elimination method, which exists in radars at home and abroad;3) The influence of medium unevenness is great and can not be eliminated, resulting in difficulty in obtaining necessary velocity data;4) The data collection method of single sending and single receiving can provide limited information for post-processing and interpretation.The above problems are fatal defects for GPR. Although many geophysicists, electromagnetic experts and geophysical workers have done a lot of research and improvement on radar antenna design, signal processing and underground target imaging, these works are only partial modifications to the existing GPR system. In order to develop GPR technology, we must update our ideas and solve the problems from the fundamental principle.In view of this situation, experts proposed to develop a new GPR system - phased array GPR detection system in 1999.The basic research idea is to replace the current monopole radar antenna with the phased array radar antenna by using the relatively mature military phased array radar technology. Its purpose is to gather the electromagnetic wave into a narrow beam to transmit underground (or detection object) through the phased array technology, and receive the radar echo signal reflected by the target by using the multi-channel acquisition technology, The advanced data processing is carried out, and finally the three-dimensional image of the internal structure of the detection object is given.Development prospect of ground penetrating radar technologyIt is worth noting that at present, similar products have appeared in the market, such as RIS antenna array series of a company, but these products simply combine multiple monopole antennas into array antennas, which is essentially different from the idea of phased array ground penetrating radar.Because the phased array radar converges the electromagnetic wave into a narrow beam by controlling the phase delay of each channel, the energy is concentrated and the wave front diffusion is small. Therefore, the detection depth of the phased array radar is much larger under the condition of the same frequency and transmission power; On the contrary, under the same detection depth, phased array radar can improve the transmission power, so its resolution is much higher than the existing radar. In addition, since the spherical wave transmission is changed to beam transmission, the influence of medium heterogeneity is much smaller.Secondly, the phased array radar works in a continuous scanning mode and can scan in multiple directions. Therefore, the amount of information is much larger than that of the existing ground penetrating radar. For some special detection work, such as the quality detection of embankment cut-off wall, its role is unmatched by the existing ground penetrating radar (monopole antenna radar can not detect the joints, forks and other defects of embankment cut-off wall at all).Because phased array radar is a multi-channel received signal, multi-channel superposition can be carried out, just like the multiple coverage technology of reflection seismic exploration. Therefore, multiple interference can be greatly eliminated, which is difficult for existing radars. The antenna of high frequency (600mhz-1ghz) phased array ground penetrating radar can be made smaller, and its advantages are unmatched by the existing ground penetrating radar in shallow detection.At present, the system prototype has been completed. The carrier free pulse working system with center frequency of 900MHz is adopted, and the transmitting and receiving antennas are separated. 16 (4 × 4) Transmit channel forming, beam aggregation and scanning 16 (4) × 4) The channel receives the echo, and the optional scanning angles are - 36 °, - 24 °, - 12 °, 0 °, 12 °, 24 ° and 36 °.The software part of the system has rich data processing functions. The main conventional processing includes filtering, gain adjustment, static and dynamic correction, deconvolution, complex signal analysis, time-frequency analysis, etc., and multi-channel data processing, such as velocity analysis, superposition technology, coherence analysis technology, array signal processing, etc. And weak signal extraction, target automatic recognition and inversion interpretation under various clutter interference. A large number of field experiments on concrete detection in Yichang Three Gorges dam are carried out. The experimental results show that the spotlight scanning function of phased array radar has been realized, the penetration depth is greater than 1.5m and the resolution is higher than that of ordinary radar.Editing: hfy
