Foreword This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). Introduction The main objective of the present document is to set out

14、 a code of practice for the use and application of Ground Probing Radar (GPR) and Wall Probing Radar (WPR). Ground Probing Radar (GPR) a well accepted geophysical method used to explore sub-surfaces. This technique has been in existence for more than 40 years, and has many beneficial uses in science

15、, engineering, surveying, and maintenance of structures. Wall Probing Radar (WPR) has a similar history and is primarily used in the analysis of structures. Examples of the application of GPR/WPR are set out in annex A of the present document. Unlike radio communication equipment/systems GPR/WPR doe

26、1 General GPR systems are designed to radiate low level signals into earth materials, typically the ground, or in the case of WPR into the concrete, brick or stone of a civil engineering or building structure. The overall objective of the present document is to ensure that radiation is directed into

27、 these materials and not into the atmosphere. In order to realize this requirement care should be observed at all times when operating/using GPR/WPR equipment. There are also requirements in the organization of operations to allow potential interference incidents to be further investigated, and acti

28、on on all parties involved to be agreed. It is recognized that it is important in the design of GPR/WPR equipment to ensure that the risk of interference to other radio services is minimized. Therefore while manufacturers have to meet set quantative performance standards, it is important that the op

29、erator/user understands the operational requirements necessary to keep interference to a minimum. The following clauses set out the recommended operator/user practice, site use, site log and operational goals. 4.2 Operator practice At all times operators/users should ensure that they follow the manu

30、facturers instructions and minimize the chances of stray radiation as follows: That the GPR/WPR equipment/system or its transmitter is only switched on when carrying out measurements. That the GPR/WPR equipment/system contains a deactivation mechanism as defined in EN 302 066-1 i.2, annex B, and EN

31、302 066-2 i.3, clause 4.2.3. That whenever practical, to ensure that the GPR/WPR operating face is in contact with a layer of absorptive earth or structural material of sufficient thickness and properties to absorb and dissipate the GPR/WPR low level radiation. That prior to planned use of GPR/WPR e

32、quipment the user/operater should check that there are no sensitive radio sites/systems in the near vicinity (airfields, radio astronomy sites, etc.). These sites may be generally defined in the licence issued by the responsibly national administration. If these are present in the area, then liaison

33、 with the organization concerned should take place to obtain agreement, prior to any measurements being performed. 4.3 Site log A log should be kept for every occasion when the GPR/WPR equipment is used. The log should include as a minimum the following: The map reference of the location. Brief desc

34、ription of measurements performed. Details of equipment used (manufacturer, model, serial number, nominal frequency(s) of operation) including the antenna details. Time and date of the operation/measurements. Ideally the log should be kept in electronic format, which is helpful in case of interferen

35、ce issues and is easily accessible by national government administrations responsible for administration of the frequency spectrum. ETSI ETSI EG 202 730 V1.1.1 (2009-09)85 Sensitive Radio Environments The most sensitive radio environments are those where the safety of life, or a similar function may

36、 be threatened if interference occurs to a radio system. Generally the areas of most concern are: Airfields. Prisons. Defense establishments. Radio astronomy sites. When within 1,5 km of these or other sensitive locations, GPR operators should be particularly aware of the potential for interference

37、and may be required to log details of the equipment, application and measurements to be used prior to be given clearance to operate. In other locations the GPR operator may not be aware of other radio systems, but should observe the recommendations of this Code of Practice at all times. For example,

38、 aircraft “en route“ systems that are not adjacent to airfields and may be screened by trees. Similarly a low flying aircraft may pass overhead at any time. 6 Product design guide Manufacturers should ensure that GPR equipment are wherever possible designed to limit the possibility of interference t

39、o other radio systems and interference to the GPR systems from other equipment. Specifically all equipment coming into use should meet the requirements of the R this becomes particularly relevant at the higher frequencies. The low frequency VHF applications are mostly used to maximize the depth of p

40、enetration in open field sites where the target may be an interface between two strata and its RCS is not highly frequency dependent. UHF frequencies are employed against such targets as pipes and cables where the RCS at low frequencies may be too small but the ground attenuation is not excessive. M

41、icrowave frequencies are used to find smaller objects at short range; the attenuation of the ground may become excessive but the lower attenuation of man-made materials (concrete, brick, etc.) may be helpful.
