Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for analyzing underground geophysical properties using the principle of a ground-penetrating radar. In order to resolve problems of the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) techniques of the related art which mainly acquires an underground image using electric field reflected waves and excludes acquisition of an underground image using magnetic field reflected waves, the present invention provides a system for exploring underground geophysical properties and a method for analyzing underground geophysical properties using the same, the system including: a transmission antenna which is located in a specific spot on the ground and radiates an electromagnetic pulse signal; and a pair of reception antennae which measures an electric field signal and a magnetic field signal which are generated by the radiated signal, in which the system is configured to be able to acquire not only underground images using electric field reflected waves as in technology of the related art but also underground images using magnetic field reflected waves, thereby exploring underground geophysical properties more accurately and effectively than conventional technology.
