3 Techniques behind the IBIS FS system The IBIS FS product utilises two radar techniques: 1. Frequency Modulated - Continuous Wave (FM-CW) technique for obtaining the 1-Dimensional Range Profile with Range Resolution GHz Single Transmit & Receive Burst 2. Interferometric technique 5 Interferometric Technique The interferometric analysis provides data on object displacement by comparing phase information, collected in different time periods, of reflected waves from the object, providing a measure of the displacement with an accuracy of less than 0.01mm (intrinsic radar accuracy in the order of mm.) First acquisition TX RX ϕ 1 d d = λ 4π ( ϕ ϕ ) 2 1 Second acquisition TX RX ϕ 2 6

4 1-D Interferometric technique The displacement is measured in the direction of the line of sight of the system. To calculate the real displacement is needed to know the acquisition geometry h R d p α d d = d p sin(α) sin(α ) = h R d = d p R h The distance R is measured by IBIS-S 7 IBIS-FS measured scenario is determined by Antenna beamwidth (depending on the model, from 10 to 50 ). User s defined maximum range (up to 1 Km) IBIS-FS Acquisition Mode IBIS-FS Range resolution n-th range bin The measured scenario is divided into range bins, whose number depends on the range resolution (0.75 m minimum, constant with distance). Two targets at the same distance from the radar fall on the same range bins. Range profile Distance (m) 8

The IBIS-FS can be rapidly deployed for short-term displacement and vibration monitoring with complete measurement and set up time being less than one hour A great deal of information can be captured from a number of points on a variety of structures very quickly making the unit an excellent alternative for economical static and dynamic surveys 28
