Description
MALÅ 3D Imaging Radar Array (MIRA) is a high-speed, one-pass 3D GPR system and the most effective solution for large-area GPR mapping.
MIRA HDR includes our world-renowned MALÅ HDR real-time sampling technology providing ultra-fast measurements and razor sharp data. The solution seamlessly integrates acquisition, processing, QA/QC, positioning and interpretation of ground penetrating radar data.
Application areas
MALÅ MIRA HDR is designed for any large scale 3D mapping project. Some of the more common application areas include:
- Large area mapping
- Utility mapping
- Archaeology
- Road investigation
- Underground Storage Tank (UST detection)
- Unexploded ordnance (UXO)
- Sinkhole detection
- Bedrock mapping
- Clandestine graves
- General site investigations
Features
Large Area Mapping
With the highest data-channel density on the market MALÅ MIRA HDR delivers unsurpassed class-leading resolution. The MALÅ MIRA HDR produces data with less noise, at higher speeds, with more functionality using improved mechanical design and modern software. The MIRA HDR is a cost-effective 3D GPR array, optimized for mapping large areas to locate buried objects and artefacts.
132 data channels
In standard configuration the MIRA HDR 3D GPR array uses a 500 MHz centre frequency, 11 transmitters and 12 receivers. The system is normally set up to collect 22 data channels but the system is capable of collecting up to 132 data channels simultaneously since it allows data collection from any transmitter-receiver combination in the whole array.
MIRA HDR delivers 32-bit output even at highway speeds, producing exceptional data quality. The 6.5 cm channel spacing, allows for the collection of precise, high resolution data.
MALÅ HDR (High Dynamic Range) GPR
The MALÅ MIRA has been redesigned to take full advantage of the MALÅ HDR technology, giving you the best possible GPR data quality, resolution, bandwidth .
The MALÅ HDR technology produces data with significantly lower noise levels, compared to traditional GPR systems. A lower noise floor gives a wider bandwidth when compared to conventional time-interleaved systems. This removes more of the background interference, giving sharper data with higher contrast, and the ability to see deeper than non-HDR systems.
MALÅ carrier solutions
There are several different types of carrier solutions for the MALÅ MIRA HDR. Some are intended to be pushed and other to be pulled and all carrier options have specific advantages for certain types of field work. Guideline Geo is continuously listening to our customers to help modify existing solutions to specific needs but the four official carrier solution available for the MIRA HDR today are:
- MIRA HDR Field trailer
- MIRA HDR Front-mounted
