MALÅ Rough Terrain Antenna (RTA) Antennas

Designed for the most extreme environments

In Brief:

The unique MALÅ Rough Terrain Antennas (RTA) changes the face of low-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveying. The unique in-line, all-in-one, antenna design provides improved performance for deeper penetration. The flexible “snake” like design allows the antenna to be manoeuvred easily and efficiently through the densest or most uneven of terrain without affecting ground contact, providing optimum results in the most difficult of environments’. The most important benefit being that the operator doesn’t have to clear an access path or route prior to the profile or survey.

A typical system set-up comprises a MALÅ ProEx Control Unit mounted in a MALÅ backpack, MALÅ XV Monitor, MALÅ  (30, 50 or 100 MHz) RTA Antenna, rechargeable batteries and a triggering mechanism (MALÅ Measuring Wheel, MALÅ Hip Chain, or time triggering).

The MALÅ RTA Antennas is recommended for deep/ geological investigations. Although, other applications include: glaciology, archaeological/ anthropological investigations, mapping of groundwater and depth to bedrock mapping.

 

MALÅ 30 MHz RTA:

The MALÅ 30 MHz RTA is suitable for investigations requiring the deepest possible depth penetration.

MALÅ 50 MHz RTA:

The MALÅ RTA 50 MHz is suitable for investigations that require medium to deep depth penetration. This was MALÅ Geoscience’s first RTA antenna and has found wide appeal since it was released in 2004 with a proven track record.

MALÅ 100 MHz RTA:

The MALÅ RTA 100 MHz is suitable for investigations that require medium depth penetration with reasonable resolution.

 

The MALÅ RTA Antennas is recommended for deep geological layer investigations. Although, other applications include: glaciology, archaeological / anthropological investigations, mapping of groundwater resources and depth to bedrock mapping.
