pulseEKKO PRO is designed to meet the needs of GPR professionals, addressing a wide range of GPR applications.
- The operating bandwidth is selectable from 12.5 MHz to 1000 MHz to optimize the system spatial resolution required by target size and exploration depth.
- The fully bistatic design enables variable antenna offsets and orientations for advanced survey types such as multi-offset, transillumination and multi-polarization.
- The selected components can exploit many deployment configurations available for practical field operation.
- Data are acquired in Sensors & Software's industry standard format for analysis with a range of processing and visualization software products.
pulseEKKO PRO is a configurable product.
pulseEKKO PRO components
Starting from a common control center, assemble the pulseEKKO components into a system best suited to your GPR application. Pick the antenna or transducer that provides the desired operating bandwidth.
- Interchangeable antennas with bandwidths of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 MHz use fibre optic linked transmitter and receiver electronic modules.
- Bandwidths of 250, 500 and 1000 MHz are provided by shielded transducer sets. Transducers are units which have antennas and electronics assembled into a monolithic package to optimize performance.
- Several antennas or transducer sets can be used concurrently when using a multichannel adapter
