3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The IBIS-ArcSAR system is designed to remotely measure slow

displacements at an accuracy great as a tenth of a millimeter. The IBIS-

ArcSAR system is particularly suitable for terrain and structural monitoring

applications, it aims to detect quasi-static displacements over long time

periods.

The performance of the IBIS-ArcSAR system depends on the type of

configuration used and on the operative measurement conditions (above

all, related to the reflectivity of the area under investigation); however, the

best performance characteristics can be defined as follows:

For Ku band system:

 maximum operational distance: 5 km;

 field of view: 360°;

 acquisition time: 40 seconds;

 image resolution in distance: 0.75 m (EU/FCC limits);

 angular resolution: 5 mrad (5 m at 1 km);

 accuracy in measuring displacements in the viewing direction: 0.1

mm (for points with a good reflectivity – SNR > 50 dB – and

depending on the impact of atmospheric variation on the measure).

The IBIS-ArcSAR system offers the following advantages over the currently

available monitoring systems (GPS, total stations, extensometers):

IBIS-ArcSAR permits the operator to perform remote monitoring of the area

(remote sensing), without needing to access the area to install sensors or

optical targets;

IBIS-ArcSAR supplies a continuous displacement map of the entire area. It

measures simultaneously all the displacements of the entire area

illuminated by the antenna beam, which can cover over hundreds of

thousands of square meters;

IBIS-ArcSAR directly measures the displacements of the territory of interest

near real time;

IBIS-ArcSAR can be used both day and night, and in almost all weather

conditions;

IBIS-ArcSAR doesn’t require the continuous presence of an operator and

can be controlled by wireless connection.

This possibility of performing long distance monitoring, without needing to

install sensors signifies that investigations can be performed even when:

 the area of interest is not accessible;

 the area of interest is particularly large and would therefore require

many in situ sensors.

In addition, when the monitoring activity is required to assure personnel

safety in emergency situations, the possibility of performing remote

monitoring may be essential to protect lives.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a view of the four side of IBIS-ArcSAR system. The basic

components are:

 ArcSAR Acquisition Unit: made of Positioner, Radar Sensor, Antennas,

Pointing Camera, Panoramic Camera and GPS;

 Positioner: it is device that allows the movement in azimuth

and tilt of sensor and the panoramic camera. The

movements are controlled by the Controller SW. The

3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

IDS GeoRadar S.r.l. Confidential Information - Do Not Distribute MNG/2017/0016 Rev 1.0 9/ 78

positioner is able to rotate within 360°. The radar view can

therefore be 360° wide.

 Radar Sensor: it generates, transmits and receives the

electromagnetic signal. The Radar Sensor is installed at the

edge of the positioner arm. The movement of the Radar

Sensor around the positioner permits the utilization of the

ArcSAR technique, which obtains a 3D image of the

scenario;

 Antennas: proper antennas are required to make the Radar

Sensor properly transmitting and receiving RF signals;

 Pointing Camera: mounted right over the Radar Sensor, it

helps to easily define the area of interest. A video

streaming is in fact integrated in the Controller Software to

get a real time feedback of the Radar current pointing

direction during the session setup.

 Panoramic Camera: installed below the radar trolley, it

provides 360° high-resolution geocoded images of the

scenario;

 GPS: to automatically retrieve the information needed for

the geocoding (Radar position and bearing);

 ArcSAR Supply Unit: this module is in charge of giving power supply

and control to the Acquisition Unit and to other optional devices

such as WIFI antenna and weather station; It is composed of:

 Laptop PC: it is equipped with the system management

software (IBIS Controller Software). This is used to setup

the acquisition parameters, store the data and transmit

them to the control room;

 Battery pack: this is the main source for supplying the

Acquisition System and all the other devices;

 Generator: it is the main source of power used to recharge

the battery pack when connection to the grid is not

available. It can be configured to automatically start when

required;

 ArcSAR Trailer: it permits the mobilization of the IBIS-

ArcSAR and gives extreme stability to the Acquisition Unit

during the monitoring session thanks to hydraulic jacks.

 Integrated Solar Panels: for recharging the battery pack

therefore reducing the generator running time;

The optional components are:

 Wind turbine: for recharging the battery pack therefore

reducing the generator running time;

 Weather Station: it provides information about the

atmospheric conditions;

 Wi-Fi Bridge: it permits data transmission from IBIS-ArcSAR

to the Control Room;

 Low temperature kit: it allows the IBIS-ArcSAR operation in

extremely cold environments;

APPENDIX D ADDITIONAL NOTES

Authorization of utilization – national restrictions

European countries

IBIS products are classified by CEPT as SRD – Short Range Device - i.e. a

device that doesn’t cause interference to other systems operating in the

same frequency band. For details about IBIS products, apply the

recommendation ERC/REC 70-03 that defines the SRD equipment (annex 6,

frequency band l). Below is the link to the cited document:

http://www.erodocdb.dk/Docs/doc98/official/pdf/REC7003E.PDF

For Ku band system

Almost all the European countries have applied the ERC/70-30 for the Ku

band, however in some European countries, the use of IBIS system outside

a laboratory can still be subject to authorization by the Competent Ministry

of the country, where the system should be used. Please refer to the

Appropriate and Competent Ministry of the country to know whether it is

still necessary to get an authorization or not.

For X band system

Almost all the European countries have applied the ERC/REC 70-03 for the X

band system. Please refer to the Appropriate and Competent Ministry of

the country to know if there are some limitations in the utilization of X

band IBIS-FM equipment or not.

USA

The IBIS sensor is FCC certified, according to the FCC rule part 90, as a

radiolocation device (subpart F). In order to use the sensor in the US

territory, a license of utilization must be obtained by FCC. The licence

application can be submitted to the following website:

http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=home

According to Maximum Permissible Exposure requirements as defined

in FCC §1.1307 the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power of IBIS Sensor is

below the limit of 1mW/cm^2 at 20cm. Therefore, the minimum

distance to be kept with respect to the antennas during the acquisition

time, in order to meet MPE requirement, is 20cm.

For more information about licensing procedure contact IDS GeoRadar

personnel.

Canada

The IBIS sensor is IC certified as a licence exempt low power device,

according to RSS 210 annex 2. Operating band is 17.1 – 17.2 GHz, with a

maximum ERP power of 0.3 W. Respecting the mentioned limitation in

terms of band and emitted power, IBIS can be used in Canada, without any

license.

The sensor is configured in the factory considering the country of origin

of its customer. If monitoring activities are planned outside that

country, different settings shall be applied on request, for the duration

of the survey. Contact IDS GeoRadar personnel to change the settings

and restore them if re-entering the country of origin.
