The systems used by Xradar™ consist of a transmitter, a receiver, and a control unit. The transmitting antenna begins by sending electromagnetic waves into the ground, which are then reflected from embedded targets.

Reflections are produced whenever the wave enters a material that differs in its conductive properties from the material it left. The receiving antenna then receives the wave reflections and measures the travel time and strength. This is then converted into an accurate image of whatever is below the surface, which is crucially then interpreted and mapped by the trained technician.

A number of factors can be altered depending on the project specifics and we tailor methods and procedures to suit client's needs. Changing the frequency of the wave can alter the depth and detail of the scan, therefore the technician's antenna choice is one of the most important factors in survey design.
