Civil Engineering / GPR COBRA WIRELESS CBD ANTENNA

GPR COBRA WIRELESS CBD ANTENNA

200/400/800MHz multi-frequency wireless GPR with bandwidth from 50 to 1400 MHz. Multiple antennas in a single solution

The COBRA CBD WIRELESS GPR collects data from hundred thousands of pulse reflections each second to help researchers identify objects below ground.
It works in a multi frequency band from 50 to 1400 MHz, thus replacing several antennas with different frequencies used by other and older GPR systems.

The unique CBD antenna transmits pulses with triple frequencies in a blended pulse form.
The CBD antenna selects the opti- mal frequency needed for all layers and targets at different depths.
The CBD antenna data received can then be used for accurate velocity/RDP values for layers and targets via frequency analysis (using a proprietary formula – with linear relation between reflected frequency and velocity).

3D RADAR DEPTH SLICE, HORIZONTAL VIEW
A 3-D software translates several 2D radar profiles into a 3D map, depth slice, at different depths. For full 3D, the spacing between 2D survey lines must be very close (λ/4).

APPLICATION AND USES
Just like X-Ray and ultrasound can image the inside of your body, the COBRA CBD WIRELESS GPR can be used to see the inside of different materials and structures in numerous applications:

  • Infrastructure & utility mapping;
  • Geology & Mining;
  • Agricolture & Forestry;
  • Archeology & Forensics;
  • Military & Security.

COBRA CBD Frequency Advantage
COBRA CBD GPR uses a patent pending unique triple frequency antenna design (200, 400 and 800 MHz nominal frequencies). Because the CBD-antennas emits three ultra wide band pulses (150% of nominal frequencies compared to 100% for conventional antennas), that overlap and blend together it can replace multiple antennas with nominal frequencies between 200 and 800 MHz.

UNPARALLELED
With an unparalleled bandwidth of 1350 MHz the CBD ANTENNA has several advantages and features.

CUTTING EDGE
Cutting edge technology and state of the art in GPR gives the ultimate GPR-system.

  • Mixed/blended data with automatic optimum frequency selected through all depths in one single file;
  • Near surface data with high resolution/frequency and deep targets with lower required frequencies;
  • No need to set frequency filters. The smart CBD antenna filters by itself;
  • No ”dead zones” or blind spots in data due to blended frequencies;
  • Calculate velocity directly from frequency content with proprietary formula;
  • Real Time Sampling technology option;
  • Air coupled operation without ringing. (Other antennas must be ground coupled to avoid ringing).

Detail from the CBD Multi Frequency antenna sample, clearly shows the high resolution capacity of our CBD Multi antenna. Raw data as collected with the antenna aircoupled, 3 cm above ground.
In the above magnified, colour scaled sample, the spacing between surface tiles (see photo), are seen already in the direct pulse. Each individual shallow 4 mm rebar is also easy detectable.
