Scientific Details of the new NOGGIN® Ultra 100 GPR system

The new NOGGIN® Ultra 100 system contains an Ultra Receiver that provides trace stacking up to 65,536 times. This lowers the noise floor to see deeper, real GPR reflectors up to 3 times deeper than before. It also couples our patented DynaQ technology to Ultra Receiver stacking for the first time. This webinar explains the scientific details behind these two innovations. 00:00 - Introduction 01:32 – The advantages of 100 MHz antennas 03:20 – Noggin 100 system 03:48 – Depth of penetration is the biggest limitation of GPR 04:43 – Factors affecting the Depth of Penetration 05:07 – 1) Electrical conductivity of the soil 06:26 – 2) GPR Transmitter Power and Emission Regulations 12:09 – 3) Decreasing the Noise Floor 12:33 – Description of GPR signals 15:00 – Definition of the Depth of GPR Penetration 15:24 – Lowering the Noise Floor to increase the Depth of Penetration 16:03 – Stacking GPR data traces 20:00 – The math behind stacking 21:01 – Animation – 1 to 2048 stacks 22:53 – NOGGIN Ultra 100 stacks up to 65,536 times 23:19 – Case Study 1 – Concrete sewer pipes 26:23 – 32-bit data 26:45 – Case Study 2 – Glacial Beach Sands 29:19 – Data collection speed 30:32 – Minimum number of stacks is 256 times 30:50 – DynaQ stacking 32:30 – Coherent RF Signals 35:49 – Case Study 3: Pipelines 37:23 – Summary 38:52 – Q&A Session 38:55 – Q1: What is the maximum distance between the ground and the GPR antenna? 40:40 – Q2: Does stacking improve vertical resolution? 40:48 – Q3: What is the limiting factor for the number of stacks? 41:41 – Q4: What technology do Ultra GPR systems use to collect data so fast? 43:11 – Q5: Does the NOGGIN Ultra 100 use the same technology as the pulseEKKO Ultra Receiver? 43:34 – Q5: How do we know when we are skipping data? 44:33 – Q6: How can I collect unstacked data? 45:16 – Q7: How does it affect the GPR data to stack while the antennas are moving? 46:12 – Q8: Is the NOGGIN Ultra 100 available for rent? 46:41 - Q9: Can GPR be used to detect leaking pipes? 48:48 – Q10: Will stacking increase the depth of penetration in a saline environment? 49:32 – Q11: What is the sampling speed of the NOGGIN Ultra 100? 49:49 – Q12: Can we measure the diameter of rebar? 50:25 – Q13: What is the quality of GPR data collected in boggy environments? 51:11 – Finish
