Overview MIRA HDR In short, the MIRA HDR system comprises the following parts: • HDR antennas; separate transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) antennas with a central frequency of 500MHz. • MIRA antenna box; special antenna box for deployment of the MIRA system. The ‘standard’...
System components Antennas and antenna box Antennas The MIRA HDR system is designed to handle shielded separable antennas only, no other antennas can be used with the MIRA HDR system. The MALÅ HDR antennas are designed and built to very tight tolerances to achieve a ‘near-identical’ response (signature) from each channel.
Antenna box The antenna box comes in one standard version, with 22 channels. This means 11 transmitters and 12 receivers placed in two rows within the antenna box. Tx on top and Rx on bottom. Each antenna element has its own secured slot and is connected via communication cables to the Blockmaster.
A connector panel can be found on the rear of the antenna box. Here power, GPS, Ethernet etc. are connected. Also see System set up section. The System diode blinks while the MIRA HDR system is booting; it becomes constant once the system is ready to connect to MIRAsoft HDR.
GPS option, so that the MIRAsoft HDR data acquisition software can record it and assign it correctly to the measured GPR swaths. The GPS antenna can be connected to Guideline Geo carrier solutions or can be mounted on the survey vehicle: Note: The placement and recording of the GPS antenna or Total Station prism’s position must...
Some points to consider: • If working in an environment with a number of trees, high buildings or other infrastructure that might disturb the communication with GPS satellites, a Total Station is preferred. In these types of environments, it can also be hard to define lines and point features with the GPS.
On the hand-pushed solution, the battery is placed on the rear side of the antenna. If using the Guideline Geo trailer the battery has a ready-made shelf. With other carrier solutions the battery can be placed in the vehicle.
• Attachment for laptop mounting. If the carrier is part of the purchase, these details will be taken care of by Guideline Geo. However, the client may find it more suitable to source the vehicle locally, in which case they must arrange the mounting details themselves.
• If the system is used front loaded, an encoder kit is available to mount on the survey vehicle • If the Guideline Geo trailer is used, the encoder is built in Vehicle mounted encoder and the 300mm measuring wheel...
2. Connect your GPS. We provide two 12V output connectors on the system’s connector panel. Contact Guideline Geo for adapters for your brand of GPS. Note: The 12V connectors are secured with a 2A e-fuse. The fuse will be restored after a power- cycle.
