"The SIR-3000 is the most versatile GPR product on
the market today. The success of the SIR-3000 data
acquisition system results from GSSI’s 40 years as
the world leader in the development of ground
penetrating radar systems."

•Pulses of EM waves are transmitted into/through soils & pavements and the strength of returning signals from encountering objects in the ground are recorded (nano second time scale)

•Changes in the electrical properties of the soil & targets induce “return” signals and the greater the difference in the dielectric properties between the materials produces a larger amplitude return signal

•Images in the form of parabolas are produced as the antenna (T & R) move over a target, such as a pipe—other types of images depend on the target shape
