NOGGIN – ground penetrating radar with interchangeable sensors

NOGGIN is the GPR series with interchangeable sensors from 100 to 1000 MHz: low frequencies reach deep into the ground, high frequencies resolve fine structures close to the surface. Depending on the terrain, the sensor is mounted in a cart, on a tow platform, in a vehicle trailer, in a sled or on a handle for walls and ceilings; NOGGIN is used for utility locating, in geology, archaeology and forensics, on roads and bridges, in concrete and on glaciers and ice, among other tasks.

What do I need?

Option A – complete system: sensor of your choice, carrier platform, DVL-502N data logger, cable, battery and charger in one package – ready to survey. The platform depends on the terrain: SmartCart (cart for most surfaces), SmartTow (hand-towed platform for rough terrain and steep slopes), SmartChariot (trailer behind a vehicle for large, flat areas), SmartSled (sled behind a vehicle for large, rough areas) or SmartHandle (handle for walls, ceilings and confined spaces). All systems are listed under NOGGIN complete systems.

Option B – individual parts: to extend an existing system or to add a second frequency. You need a sensor from the NOGGIN sensors category, a platform set and a data logger (DVL-502N or DVL-500). The platform sets SmartCart, SmartTow, SmartChariot, SmartSled and SmartHandle contain platform, cable, battery and charger, but no sensor and no data logger. Depending on the combination, a second sensor on the same platform needs a conversion kit or adapter from Accessories for NOGGIN.

Multi-channel with SPIDAR: Several NOGGIN sensors can be combined into a multi-channel system with SPIDAR – side by side for a wide survey swath, or with different frequencies for shallow and deep data in a single pass.
