Calabresi, 20 – I-56121 PISA EUT classification Ground penetrating radar (GPR) General overwiew The TRHFNA system is a Ground penetrating radar (GPR) system, i.e., according to the FCC definition, a field disturbance sensor that is designed to operate only when in contact with the ground for the purpose of detecting or obtaining the images of buried objects or determining the physical properties within the ground. The energy from the GPR is intentionally directed down into the ground for this purpose. The TRHFNA product includes • The TRHFNA antenna (including one couple of transmitting and receiving dipoles) • The control unit (hereinafter referred as D.A.D – Digital Antenna Driver) that is linked to a laptop computer for storing the collected data. Power supply type DC 12 V battery supplied Operating frequency 976 ÷ 2489,6MHz (10 dB Bandwidth) Channel Spacing Not applicable Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) 400 KHz Antenna description Integral permanently attached Antenna Type Dipole IMQ S.p.A. con socio unico Via Quintiliano, 43 20138 MILANO - I LAB N° 0121 Signatory of EA, IAF and ILAC Mutual Recognition Agreements Test Report No. ARSL00296/1 Date: 2011-12-21 Page 5 of 45 Mod.
