DECOD MobyScan 3D Imaging
Ultra-Wideband Radar System
An advanced system is which for transportation, infrastructure, subsurface inspection and analysis. It provides faster sample rate, uses 15.6” 1080P touch screen, new adjusted lift trailer, can connect 2000Mhz, 900Mhz, 500Mhz and other frequencies antenna arrays.
This system consists of 3D ground penetrating radar, GPS location, road condition recording subsystems. The above three subsystems work synchronously, and every data Correspond. Operator can acquire the 3D information of the road subsurface after performing one time detection. It does not require any the grid line sand multiple detections. Operating system software with a simple interface insulated from computer virus.
Main Uses
- Road structure assessment(thickness, strength & defect of subsurface layer)
- Subsurface defect detection(void, aquifers, not dense area, settlement, collapse, buried object)
- Utility designation(pipeline, cable, ditch)
- Bridge deck inspection (reinforcing bar inspection & location, damage, thickness of cover layer)
- Build 4D dynamic database detection system for runway, highway, and city road.
- Carry out a regular detection to survey changing trend of road structure.
Main features
- Low-cost, precise assessment of subsurface conditions for expressways, runways and railroads.
- Vehicle-mounted for fast and convenient deployment.
- Continuous imaging and detection at up to 100 km/h.
- Non-Destructive Detection.

Applicable Technology and Basic Facts Linked to DECOD’s Products
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Technology
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a technology for the transmission of data using techniques which cause a spreading of the radio energy over a very wide frequency band, with a very low power spectral density. The low power spectral density limits the interference potential with conventional radio systems, and the high bandwidth can allow very high data throughput for communications devices, or high precision for location and imaging devices.
Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) is an important segment of UWB devices. The basic deliverable of GPR is 3D images of what lies beneath the surface. GPR is widely used in geological surveys as well as civil, structural engineering applications.
Wall Penetration Radar may conceptually be regarded as an application of GPR technologies applied on walls instead of horizontal surface. The deliverable is essentially 3D images of what lies behind the wall.
Ground Penetration Radar is a safe technique
Ground Penetration Radar System is a non-destructive and non-intrusive device that is deployed to penetrate downwards into the ground or any other medium to detect anomalies to support subsurface investigations. Hence, it generally does not involve transmission over the air. Even if it does on a remotely basis, it radiates for a duration of picoseconds which translates to a range of a few metres. This accounts why GPR is not known or reported to interfere with other receivers or poses any health hazards to operators.
What are the common anomalies that are being detected?
Voids in airport runways, roads and concrete structures; corrosion in metallic subsurface utilities like gas, water, sewage, electrical lines; cracks and other defects arising from wear and tear in buried structures are anomalies that are of interest to road, airport and utilities operators.
