The Lunar Penetrating Radar(LPR)carried by Chang’E-3 has imaged the shallow subsurface of the landing site at the northern Mare Imbrium.The antenna B of the Channel-2 onboard the LPR(LPR Channel-2B)has collected more than 2000 traces of usable raw data.Because of the low resolution and noise of the raw data,only a few shallow geological structures are visible.To improve the resolution and the signal-to-noise ratio of the LPR data,we processed the LPR data including amplitude compensation,filtering,and deconvolution processes.The processing results reveal that the data processing in this study not only improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the LPR Channel-2B data but also makes the geological structures vivid.The processing results will lay the foundation for the subsequent geological interpretation and physical property inversion of lunar materials.
