Testing a 7 antenna element Spidar PulseEkko 250 rig (6 channels of 60cm separation data). Lithogen Inc. built this custom cart for a client as an R&D project. This video once again features my driveway, the most famous driveway in geophysics -- and terrible audio ;)
The modular nature of the Spidar system allows for pretty arbitrary GPR design parameters. We also decided to make this cart modular too, allowing anything from 2 to 7 detachable antenna bays. It'll also take PulseEkko 500 and 1000 MHz antennas, and anything from the Noggin lineup (except the 100 MHz). If you have a SmartChariot, the core of this cart might look familiar.
Cost to build custom carts will vary depending on design and what you're hanging from it. For example, had to have custom skid plates machined for this particular frequency and geometry combo. Let us know if you're looking for some custom work in the Sensors & Software Inc. lineup and we'll do our best to build something that uses as many first party Sensoft parts as we can, plus a few Lithogen custom parts where needed.
