SIR System-10B and SIR System-10H:

The SIR-10B and SIR-10H represent the old der style  multiple channel Subsurface Interface Radar data acquisition systems available. The primary applications of these devices include any situation where multiple channel data acquisition and/or high speed acquisition is required. These systems are capable of acquiring data at up to 220 scans per second, and are also capable of acquiring up to 4096 samples per scan. This comparwes with 800 to 12000 scans per second with more modern equipment

Both systems also optionally support the Exabyte model 8505 Tape Drive, as well as the popular Iomega Jaz Drive, which provides 1 GB removable data cartridges. The SIR-10B and SIR-10H are budget choices for anyone who wants to conduct high speed, multiple channel surveys. SSI reccomend reviewing some of the more modern technology available.

Antennas
SSI sells  wide variety of antenna which operate at a wide range of nominal frequencies, from the 1.8 GHz Transverse Electromagnetic antenna pair to the 35 Mhz MHz Model 3200 Multiple Low Frequency Antenna (with all antenna rods attached). Antenna performance will vary greatly based on soil and environmental conditions. For assistance with proper antenna selection, please contact Groundsearch, who will be glad to assist with the selection of an antenna to fit your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How deep can I expect an antenna to penetrate?

High Frequency High Resolution  --- Shallow Depth  eg 1.2Ghz antenna has a 800 to 1000mmm range and has a resolution os about 10 mm

Lower Frequency Lower Resolution  --- Greater depth  e.g. a 300 MHz antenna has a range of 4 to 8 m but has  a resolution of 200 to 300mm.

How do I configure antennae for bistatic operation?
