This paper deals with the detection of a fixed metallic target (sheet). This detectrion can be done by using two antennas in a side arrangement (one for Tx and one for Rx) and treatments based on amplitude level. However, for short distances, near field conditions induce oscillations. A solution for their reduction is dicussed.
