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;
