ground penetrating radar - AUS-CITY Message Forums

I know it a bit off topic for many,but amongst electronic enthus.,in general looking for info on this subject,circuits,software etc. myself being enthus., in electronics,metal detection,etc.Have posted in many other various forums in aust.and recieve only scant info if anything of value.on the subject. maybe ,just maybe?may be a member here who knows a little or a lot whom I can correspond with?or has some curcuit detail for home construction?? thanks.

Obviously not,nobody reads this stuff?

sorry Rickove dont know about ground penetrating rader do you mean a system for locating pipes in ground then i can help

thank for your reply Jason, the radar system is for ground use as seen in many documentary on site survey use,ancient relics and such.have a brochure from Accurate Locators inc. USA. their equipment is expensive. seems to comprise a portable belt pack tx rx unit 1mtre square coil unit and laptop computer for display and interp.,of info in a simulated color graphic like sonar,or fishfinder unit for boating.

sounds good it must work on ultra Sonics does it ? we use Ultrasonic sensors in the trade and there about 900 bucks for a basic setpoint ( on off like a limilt switch) but the Analog output ( 4 20ma ) they are very pricey its seams that they work on the same lines as what you are talking about what would be cool would be a Radar that you could install in you house and it shows you a outline of the house and all the movments around it better that having 10 PIR sensors

rickove Mt Gambier any gold their.??????? Let me know I'll come with you.

Sorry no gold in Mt Gambier,have a two month trip end of year to the Phillipines,would love to have a GPRadar system instead of regular VLF metal detector for all the relic,ww2 sites and plenty of gold there also.

Jason ,I dont think the system uses ultrasonic transducers,but some type coil system 1metre square,buy the looks of the brochure,proberly some kind of pulse induction or something at some exotic frequency?but I could be wrong.just dont know enough of the basics,

I don't have knowledge about radar technology. But I have knowledge about the surveilance technology.
