This paper presents a contribution to the problem of detecting cylindrical targets. We first show that cylindrical targets embedded into lossy dielectric media, such as soil have natural resonant frequencies which can be calculated using simplified models. Next, we demonstrate that those resonant frequencies can be observed experimentally using an adequate field detector and could be used as the signature of the presence of landmines into lossy soils.
