GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IBIS-ArcSAR system is designed to remotely measure slow
displacements at an accuracy great as a tenth of a millimeter. The IBISArcSAR 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:
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.
For Ku band system:
This possibility of performing long distance monitoring, without needing to
install sensors signifies that investigations can be performed even when:

maximum operational distance: 5 km;

the area of interest is not accessible;

field of view: 360°;


acquisition time: 40 seconds;
the area of interest is particularly large and would therefore require
many in situ sensors.

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).
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.
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;
and Fig. 2 show a view of the four side of IBIS-ArcSAR system. The basic
components are:

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;


IBIS Products include specific “Operational” software with automatic data
processing and analysis which may give outcomes/results for helping User in the
monitoring of “the stability conditions” of a specific event.
Nevertheless, IDS GeoRadar s.r.l. has the obligation to remind the Users that the
performance of IBIS might be influenced by two main factors which may distort
its outcomes, thus giving rise to false or missing alarms:
a.
b.
iii.
the parameters introduced by the operator/s.
the particular environmental conditions: (even though the radar
technology employed by IBIS, is deemed among the most reliable for the
monitoring of “instable slopes).
Therefore, when IBIS Products are used in “Critical Monitoring for safety
purposes” applications, like real time monitoring of unstable slopes including
Opencast Mining, User must be aware that the “the assessment of the stability
conditions of the observed targets” must be tasked to skilled and certified
operator/s able to understand data supplied by either IBIS or other equipment
employed to such purpose; only operators officially trained and regularly
updated by IDS (holding an “IBIS User Certificate” thereof) are allowed to use
IBIS products.
IDS GeoRadar S.rl.. assumes no liability for any direct, indirect special, incidental or
consequential damages or injuries caused by such reliance or for the use of IBIS
Products by operator not holding an “IBIS User Certificate” issued by IDS GeoRadar
S.r.l.. Any Buyer or User that completely relies on information obtained from the
automated data processing/analysis tools only does so at his own risk and possible
damages caused to IBIS products during operations performed by not-certified
operators are not covered by the applicable Warranty Terms in force.
