MALÅ’s unique Rough Terrain Antenna (RTA) series 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 maneuvered 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.

Typical system set-up comprises a CUII control unit mounted in a backpack, XV Monitor, RTA (25, 50 or 100), rechargeable batteries and a triggering mechanism (survey wheel, hip chain, or time).
The RTA series is recommended for deep/ geological investigations. Although, other applications include: glaciology, archaeological/ anthropological investigations, mapping of groundwater and depth to bedrock mapping.
